In the past, we’ve had issues with women suffrage, slavery, and sanitation, among many other things.

Today we have gun control, AI, intended/unintended false information, vaccines, etc. as consistently hot topics.

In a few decades’ time, what views do you have now that may spark major social debate in the future? What conservative and/or progressive stances do you take today that might be too far on either extreme in the far future?

    Some drugs have the potential to ruin your life

    Any addictive drug has this potential.

    anyone who has witnessed that knows that these drugs aren’t “cool.”

    The problem is that people, usually children, are introduced to drugs without knowing the dangers of addiction. By who? By dealers and new users.

    Watching someone struggle with addiction is terrifying.

    Yes, I find it so terrifying that I’d like to prevent it from happening.

    Other drugs have risks, but can be fun and taken with relative safety.

    If you mean non-addictive drugs like psilocybin, I was obviously not talking about those and I support them being fully legal.

    It’s your consciousness and should be your right to alter it as you choose.

    People don’t exist in a vacuum. Our actions have consequences for others.
