I agree that alcohol is worse in many way and never said otherwise, there are a lot of people putting words into my mouth here.

I am being downvoted because people misread my post, I never said that. If someone is addicted they aren’t really always able to think (or act) rationally anymore, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid, and I never said it did.

The argument that fentanyl can be equated to apples though? That is 100% maximum stupid.

Also, it is a fact that eating enough apples to kill you is physically impossible so the argument is all that dumber. For a science community there sure are some wildly ignorant and trollish responses.

If you are trying to claim that I did that, please point to the post where I said it. You can’t, because I didn’t.

Were you trying to be funny or… ?

Edit: OK, I am guessing you are the one downvoting and given your lack of a response I can only assume you meant that in earnest so I’ll go ahead and tell you, “That’s an asinine argument to make against shit that actually kills people and destroys lives, not to mention it’s physically impossible to eat enough apples to be killed by the tiny amount of cyanide found in the seeds.”

Feel free to correct me if that’s not what you meant, we can only make assumptions since you’ve chosen not to clarify so far. Right now I am under the impression that you’re making an absolutely ridiculous argument. Again: It is physically impossible to eat that many apples and that might be the least stupid part of your argument.

Apple? I’m more of a Linux guy tbh, but I’ll admit, they make good hardware (mostly).

If that was a typo for alcohol, you’re damn right it will! Alcohol is far more dangerous than many drugs that are illegal in most places (for example, cannabis has killed… checks notes …0 people, ever).

IMO, it is a hard drug, especially in liquor form and I would not be surprised to learn that it has killed more people than most street drugs just because of the erroneous view that it is somehow not a drug so people disregard the danger due to social acceptance.

I’m not into street drugs (the hardest stuff I ever did was liquor, and these days my drug of choice is black coffee) but I have to imagine knowing that any batch of them could kill you would be a significant deterrence for anyone who can still think rationally.

Edit: I’m done arguing with people who have zero reading comprehension. Feel free to make retorts against an argument that was never made, but I’m done responding to people who are either didn’t read what I actually wrote or are just straight up trolls. …and YES: Alcohol is absolutely a drug, a very dangerous one that can easily kill you in myriad ways even long after you stop taking it.
