Be careful not to equate all forms of transgression with stage red. Tier 1 in general can get very nasty at times.

Because it's death.

Firstly, there is not really a market for Datura anyway. Secondly, "krokodil" (desomorphine) isn't technically "worse" than any other opiate. The perception of krokodil being a type of corrosive venom stems from unclean and unprofessional synthesis practices, contamination and impurities, not the active compound itself. It's very easy to synthesize it from codeine at home (using a lot of toxic chemicals), and that's why you see so many side effects related to the drug.

Alcohol is more lethal than cocaine and same as methamphetamine if you measure the active/lethal dose ratio:

Alcohol is one of them.

The main premise of having a developmental model is that the stages are passed through in a predictable/chronological order. Therefore, you shouldn't be able to skip stages, but regression is another question. It may or may not be possible depending on the model.

Looks like a bunch of nothing tbh

You can make this argument for any drug really. People tend to do a lot of the drug once they have it, sure, but what about binge drinking? It's a staple of college culture. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a particular drug that kills you: it's a particular lifestyle. The people you see on the street aren't just doing one drug. They're multi-drug users, desperate, poor, broken, and not least malnourished (big factor in their health), and they will take anything they get their hands on; be it alcohol, heroin, coke, xanax etc.. If you listen to this man's life story (eloquent man), you'll get the point: That is an assumption, but it's also not really relevant. Believe it or not, many people do all kinds of drugs without getting addicted, ending up on the streets and dying before they're 30. Hamilton Morris has probably done more types of drugs than you even know existed, and he is still a highly functional human being: 1:07:00 Interesting talk about amphetamine vs methamphetamine (he has tried both). None of this is true. If you do one shot too much, you can enter a coma, stop breathing, or have a heart attack or seizure. The strongest poisons in the world are also found in fruits. The naturalist argument is not a strong one. Same with any other drug. That is why doctors can prescribe you things like morphine and amphetamine, even though you can overdose on those aswell.

Sure, atleast in some sense, many hippies are also conformist and conventional when it comes to mental structure, despite anti-establishment content. However, there are certainly different degrees of this, and also, young people are more susceptible to it. You should also take into account the SD lens to this matter. Hippies are stage green, and that stage is called the "post-conventional" stage for a reason. You're much more likely to find diversity of behaviour, thought and expression, odd pecularities and idiosyncrasies there compared to a group from a lower stage. Despite there being commonalities within the group, their mental structure is relatively more fluid compared to other groups. Concepts like being a free spirit, freethinker, free love are much more open to interpretation than say the puritanian "fuck the establishment" mentality of punk rock. All in all, structure vs content is an important distinction, but so is content vs content.

You'd be surprised how bad alcohol really is. I'm taking a class in developmental psychology and the professor said that alcohol is by far the worst drug to take when you're pregnant. Quote from Jordan Peterson, who has done research on alcohol: The addiction profile for alcohol is certainly not negligible either (rank 3): https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Drugs-Ranked-by-the-Salerian-Addictive-Potential-Score-A-This-Table-Presents-the-SAP_tbl1_272481174 "Virtually all drugs causing drug addiction increase the dopamine release in the mesolimbic pathway,[83] in addition to their specific effects." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addiction In that sense, alcohol, heroin and cocaine aren't so different after all.

Alcohol too?

But are you dying yet?

That looks like a horse took a shit in the road and a car drove over it lol

I hope you will remain that privileged for the rest of your life, because when someone threatens you for your life, you'll be in deep trouble.

What do you mean?

No difference.

1:44-2:35 is entirely improvised. It's ridiculous.

I wanted a non-dual cliché answer. Now I'm sad

What is the problem with that distinction?

Tell me what you know.

@Zigzag Idiot Bro check out the ozzfest perfomance in 2000. I posted it here earlier. It's arguably the most refined example of Red energy out there It's at the peak of Phil's heroin addiction and he is treating his voice like a piece of toilet paper

We're talking about Trump, not his MBTI type

You don't have to be condecending lol. I know the nervous system. I took some courses in human physiology and anatomy in college . Anyways, I think I've made my point clear: rape is harmful in a relative sense, but not in an absolute sense. Facts are relative, not absolute. Learn to differentiate between absolute and relative statements.

Then I don't agree that you agree with me . I'm not at all trying to say that abuse is not a serious thing. I'm saying serious things are relative. I think you should care about not doing harm, you should care about being a better person, and I believe that what I'm providing here is going to help you very much in that direction. All I'm trying to do by saying all this is to prevent harm (the harm of not seeing your own perspective as a perspective)
