    Oh ban cryptocurrencies, just like we banned drugs?

    Yeah, because that worked out great didn’t it?

    Jesus if I could just have a button to eliminate everyone with ideas like that, you wouldn’t get my hand off it.

      Don’t be too upset, these are the people who are going to make you and I very financially secure. They’ll laugh now, and cry foul later, but it won’t change anything.

      The downvote button and cognitive dissonance is way, way easier than taking a few minutes of focus and time to learn the very basics about something.

      At the very least we could ban commercial usage which would be relatively easy to do while eliminating or at least reducing a lot of the harm. I know it’s rich coming from me of all people but you can do things on a scale.

      Just a little over a century ago we could get laudanum or whatever over the counter, whenever we wanted. And things were so much better.

      Not ONE drug cartel, thank God we went to war, right?

      The drug war actually made meth and fentanyl use inevitable, to replace heroin, cocaine, etc. If only we had stuck to the classics.

      oh well. Time for my wellbutrin and duozepine and quetiapine and prazosin.

      Those are the drugs I have to take daily to stop screaming, because screaming is bad now or some shit
