1. Alcohol, Cannabis y la Hipocresía Social.
Existe una fuerte crítica a la doble moral con la que la sociedad aborda el consumo de sustancias. Mientras el alcohol es legal y normalizado, a pesar de sus graves consecuencias para la salud y la seguridad pública, el cannabis sigue siendo demonizado, ignorando su uso medicinal y su perfil de riesgo comparativamente menor.
- People always wanna dunk on marijuana users, while ignoring alcoholics causing more damage to themselves and those around them.
- Its crazy that overdose from alcohol kills almost 500 people every day but overdose from thc has killed checks notes possibly one person. In recorded history.
- How many fights have you seen between stoned people as opposed to fights between drunk people. One is mother natures magical plant medication and the other is a chemical that hardens and kills cells and the all organs in your body. The wrong one is illegal.
- Alcohol is legal and used by most people, so people assume that it cant be as harmful as the more restricted drugs, that the effects of addiction cant be as severe, because otherwise why is it so normalised? but its not true, alcohol is one of the worst drugs to withdraw from.
2. Estigma, Adicción y Salud Mental.
La adicción es vista como un fracaso moral en lugar de una enfermedad, lo que genera un profundo estigma que impide a muchas personas buscar ayuda. Se enfatiza la necesidad de separar el juicio moral del disfrute de las sustancias y adoptar un enfoque de reducción de daños basado en la compasión y la autonomía del individuo.
- The irony of addiction is that its one of very few diseases where people who suffer from it are blamed for having it! can you imagine if we blamed kids with cancer for having let cancer into their lives? empathy is the only appropriate response.
- The judgement of people is worse than an addiction and is a big reason people end up in addiction. But yall also need to un-couple addiction from the enjoyment of doing them. Theyre two different things 12.
- Stigma against people who use drugs is so strong, it can impact workers providing us with crucial services. Time to end pwud stigma.
- Stigma has created a culture where people think abstinence is the only worthy way of living . Harm reduction at its core is about autonomy of people who use drugs, whether they want to quit drugs or not.
3. La Guerra Política y Económica contra el Cannabis.
Se denuncia que las recientes prohibiciones y restricciones a los productos derivados del cáñamo (como los comestibles de THC) son el resultado de un intenso cabildeo por parte de las industrias del alcohol, el tabaco y farmacéuticas, que ven amenazados sus mercados por alternativas más seguras y menos adictivas.
- Booze and pharma lobbies pushed for it. The weed drinks are starting to cut into booze market and a lot of people use weed gummies for pain and sleep.
- Congress has slipped a cruel form of prohibition into law, banning the thc gummies and other products that many people suffering severe chronic pain have come to rely upon.
- The alcohol industry got a perk in the clean cr thats double speak by lobbying for a ban on cannabis products.
- The congressional funding bill included a thc cap that effectively bans most hemp products, threatening the 28 billion market. Not to mention how many mellow people will start to get more angry than they have been so far this year.
