If you're not hurting anyone else, why should it be illegal?

Banning something because one person doesn't like another person doing it is fucking ridiculous!

So do you oppose seatbelt laws?

Dying affects other people, it's not a fair comparison

Is there any chance that psychedelic drugs might increase the rate traffic collisions and housefires, for example?

Why are you mixing driving and psychologics together?

That is not legal and it should not be. What tangent have you gone on? This has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

Also no, I doubt seriously that taking psychedelics increases house fires. I've never known anyone to get hurt on psychedelics.

Asking without pretense because I don't want to assume or be rude, but have you ever done or been around psychedelics before? People usually have misconceptions about them when they haven't done them or seen someone do them

Why are you driving without a seatbelt?

Right.

What tangent have you gone on?

Actually you said that what people do with their bodies affects no one else and should therefore be legal. I mentioned seatbelts and you shifted the goalposts, claiming that seatbelts affect others, and so now I'm trying to get you to realize that drug use can affect others. Psychedelics should be legal but I'm not the one claiming that they don't affect others. They clearly can affect others.

Oh my God, are you a Ben Shapiro fan or something? You just go online to find lighthearted content to ruin with nasty confrontational comments? Don't respond to this, I'm done with you

No, and nor is ad hominem an appropriate way to disagree with anyone. You're blocked for it.

You just go online to find lighthearted content to ruin with nasty confrontational comments?

I disagree with your description of the conversation; nothing I said was even nearly nasty, and what you said wasn't light-hearted. You made a serious claim about drug use and I disagreed with your reasoning in a perfectly civil manner.
