> I think people who facilitate the sale of community destroying hard drugs deserve punishment

I'd argue Instagram has done more damage to human relationships and communities than MDMA, despite the former being around for much longer.

Really, when we look at the forces "destroying our communities", it's not so much the drugs as the the reasons people take them - alienation caused by post-modern industrial capitalism, face-to-face interaction replaced by screen time, a society that values "success" over happiness, health and connection... the drugs are a symptom.

If you take morphine because you have a broken bone, the issue is the broken bone.

If people drink themselves to death because they are lonely, the issue is the loneliness.
