Uhh....The Human Condition?
Its been said a few times in this already, humanity has been drinking alcohol and doing drugs since the dawn of time. The Ancient Egyptians made beer, the Aztecs would chew and smoke whatever they could, the Chinese and Opium, the examples throughout history of various global cultures are nearly endless.
The problem really, is that in our wonderous genius and pursuit of knowledge we've made drugs just extremely hardcore.
Instead of just having a hoot or two after a hard day of making big rocks into smaller rocks or harvesting the fields we've got people shooting up synthetic opioids that melt your face off.
Tough to go to work the next day after an ordeal like that.
Which is why....there is an argument to be made both for 'safe supply' as well as aggressively working to get some of the worse crap off our streets.
