Comment on It's all relative

I’m willing to bet you’d be healthier after 10 years of 10mg daily oral methamphetamine than 10 years of 1 slice daily cheesecake.
You can fit a slice of cheesecake into a healthy caloric budget and macro balance.
If you’re eating your daily required calories and then adding cheesecake on top of that, you’ll be in caloric surplus and gain weight, but you certainly don’t have to do it that way.
You can also fit 10 mg of oral methamphetamine into a healthy pharmaceutical balance.
The results are quite different from the perspective of body weight and mental health.
You either become overweight with good mental health
Or
You maintain low or under weight gain and have a severe drug addiction that destroys your mental health.
Taking 10 mg of methamphetamine a day is smaller than an average clinical dosage of Adderall, with a similar risk profile.
Addiction is usually measured not by how much you can or can’t take … but how, when and if you can stop.
That’s not addiction, otherwise I’m technically addicted to my painkillers, anti-psychotics and stimulants. As well as air, warmth and food.
An addiction is when someone compulsively seeks out a pleasurable experience despite net negative consequences.
10mg is a clinical dose. Methamphetamine is a prescription drug.
Discontinuing cold turkey from 10mg daily would not result in significant withdrawal symptoms.
Are diabetics (which you’d probably become if you ate cheesecake daily) addicted to insulin then?

10mg meth vs the 10mg of cheesecake. Both smoked in a meth pipe.
