For me, “hard drugs” have always been the other side of a line where your possible outcomes are a splitting headache the morning after over indulging booze vs overdose and death, so I guess that does make me a drug Prohibitionist. I also stayed away from pot because I considered it a grey area between alcohol and hard drugs. Sort of that next step to rabbit hole I didn’t want to risk going down. I had lots of friends that would indulge in pot and never had an issue, and I don’t consider it a path to the dark side like I used to, but still can’t stand the smell, so not for me.
I have lots of sympathy for those who become addicts due to situations they don’t know how to cope with, and I believe in treatment, not safe supply. I’m all for more funding for treatment. The “I like to party hard” addict. Nope, you chose your path.
