The Cooper Davis Act would force tech companies to report suspected drug activity to the government. Experts say it would be a disaster for digital privacy.

      A drug addict does not make any contributions to society, he’s the living dead.

        Funny how alcohol addicts are allowed to participate in society normally though while no one in any high paying job is allowed to smoke a joint.

          Alcohol, cigars and then… cocaine, LSD, crack? Are you honestly making this comparison?

          Could you look someone in the eye and tell that cocaine and tobacco are the same thing?

            The fact that you put LSD between cocaine and crack made me literally lol.

            You’ve clearly lived a very sheltered life and have been fed all of your information on drugs from entertainment media.

              Maye LSD is “less bad” than the others, fine. I’m not a drug connoisseur.

                That was obvious when you posted cocaine then crack.

                It showed that not only are you not a connoisseur, but your understanding of drugs is most likely mainstream fiction and copaganda regurgitated as news.

                Crack is just cocaine that has been processed so you can smoke it instead of snorting or injecting it.

                Disclaimer: don’t Fuck around with cocaine, it dumps your dopamine and eventually makes it impossible to feel happiness outside of continued use, and the use diminishes in its dopamine dumps

                Edit: I didn’t even read the comment two up, they had the same assessment, lol

              Now we’re talking, I like to see numbers and data. You’re clearly different from the others here.

              Now go a biiit further and check usage statistics for alcohol, cocaine and opioids. Is it the same number of people using all three?

            I am not saying crack or other drugs are harmless, but man, have you ever seen an alcohol addict? It completely destroys your body, mind and family (which you like to mention when it comes to other drugs). You can absolutely compare it to crack.

              I see, so you’re arguing we must ban both alcohol and drugs? You bring a hard bargain, I’m interested in the connotations of this.

                This has already been tried and didn‘t work. People consumed it anyway (surprise).

          Want to see a video of how someone looks like after using psychedelic drugs for some time? Will you still make this comparison afterwards?

          If you people establish that banning alcohol is a absolute requirement for banning cruel drugs that destroy entire families, so be it.
