No...you know what, everything can be funny in the context of gaining control of suffering. And anything you delegate living your life to can destroy you. I've met alcoholics in rehabilitation, it's no joke, they generally received a masochistic pill called...Antabús. It just punishes you for drinking even a tiny bit. It's a sneaky habit, every chemical is unique and has its own beauty and darkness.

Makes me grateful for drug control, yeah the DEA gets pimped by subhumans like the Sackler brothers to reduce competition for their scams, and reducing ADD medication availability (also the Sacklers in fact) leads very vulnerable people to substitute miracle drugs with crack and cocaine, but they also protected me from being coerced to use cocaine, which would have enslaved me completely. It's too tempting to get a really clean kid in your high school to just try this little bit, just so obviously vulnerable and afraid of drugs clearly addict material, and then well if you want more you know where to get it, oh it doesn't do the trick it's just you it's the same as before, oh was it extra strong you got lucky, and there's commissions from the dealers so they can pay for theirs, they want to harm you there's that, and then you can't tell your parents but like for real the initiators say its a bad move and they're totally right, and the impossibility of receiving medical attention because all the psychs want to exploit you much more than the dealers even, more coercive and more violent. And because it's so close to being good for you, it's a dangerous drug that's so close to what people with ADD truly organically legitimately need. It's a fork in the road, very easy to end up on either side but they lead to very different places.

But they have to protect your ability to say no. In my case it was critical not to try cocaine a single time, nothing. It's difficult, initiators carefully plan ahead of what they'll do if you say no, Just Say No doesn't work. You have to just say no and have backup. Not just letting you be coerced and punishing you when you became addicted to a terrible drug out of literally no fault of your own. I met people that I can't assign any blame to for their cocaine addiction, it wasn't a moral failing, drug enforcement and especially shrinks failed them. Drug enforcement needs to punish coercive initiation, and you get whatever you don't punish, so DEA has its own beauty and darkness too. They're a mixed bag of those two things.

Sacklers aren't a mixed bag though, just sacks of crap. There's no words, like if you want to know what they did you have to take Oxycontin exactly as they prescribed, it lasts 7 hours but you take it every 12. You withdraw 10 hours a day, I mean I think so because I got lucky with that drug too and never had it. And you need to have underlying chronic pain too. Follow their doctors orders. The judges judging them need to do that, they can't do their job otherwise, yeah it's obviously an addicting drug that will fuck your life up but how else will they have any idea what they did? Just try it one week, Your Honor. Any judge could have tried it over twenty plus years and known for certain what this was, any regulator could have said give me a taste of your medicine, I gotta see for myself, but apparently nobody did. And there's a chance it actually will do what it says on the box for the first time ever, they claim as much by pleading not guilty, everyone has the right to a fair trial, gotta give them a chance, right?
