Exploring Perspectives on Substance Use, Legality, and Attire
Substance use, such as alcohol consumption, is often driven by the appreciation of its craftsmanship and story rather than solely for intoxication. Society tends to stigmatize certain drugs while accepting others based on familiarity, overlooking potentially beneficial substances like shrooms. The concept of legality is questioned, highlighting that historical legal practices, like slavery and child marriage, were once accepted. Skepticism towards pharmaceutical and regulatory bodies, such as the FDA, raises doubts about trusting their decisions. The discussion expands to attire, with the historical context of aristocrats wearing high heels to distinguish themselves from peasants, drawing parallels to the modern-day attire like suits and questioning the significance and value of such attire.
