  I work in pharmacy and casually joke about being a legal drug dealer all of the time.

  Not all drugs are street drugs!

  Hey, its a new legal industry. And selling drugs lets me sleep much better at night compared to having to pretend whatever new bullshit they are pushing is not terrible.

  We have all been conditioned by the media to think of drug dealers as bad people, but if you aren’t violent and only selling to consenting adults there is nothing inherently wrong or evil about it, other than braking the law. You are providing a valuable service to your community, like every other job.

    It does depend on the drugs though. If you’re shorting crack and heroin to your community then you’re just a predator preying on your own people.

      Yeah, also. if it’s the illegal kind there’s a huge price payed in blood in the countries that manufacture and transport them.

      The war on drugs sucks but it’s a fact that buying illegal drugs fuels an industry of violence.

    A lot of drugs are very addictive and ruin people’s lives. I’m well aware a lot of lives were ruined by the stigma attached to to drugs, but to swing from they are evil criminal people to just equating drug dealing with every other job is insane to me.

      If someone breaks their arm doing a skateboard trick, do you blame the seller of the skateboard?

      Consenting adults know the risk of taking drugs, if someone gets addicted the blame doesn’t fall on the dealer.

      Not to mention that the vast majority of drug users dont become addicted or have their lives ruined. Rather they have their lives significantly improved

      Also have to point out in my case it is very much legal. I am no different then someone with a liquor store (well maybe my stuff is potentially less harmful).

      is insane to me.

      Of course, it goes against all values that you were taught.

        You have no idea how many of my closest friends have been to jail for drugs. I think that is a problem with the system, but im not going to go to the opposite end of the spectrum and act like we were being upstanding citizens.

        Getting people addicted to things is bad. It doesn’t matter if you are a drug dealer, a casino, or a social media app.

  There are only two industries that call their customers ‘users’…
