Legal and illegal stimulants have been used much longer than social media has been around. It’s funny how some became illegal while others haven’t. Punishment of booze didn’t work in the USA, and now an increasing number of stares are decriminalising or legalising marijuana and its derivatives. The war on drugs will never be won. It is cheaper I have read to treat addicted users of some substances with medicinal grade products than to repeatedly incarcerate or live as a criminal. Just say no 🤣
