For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.
I am with you on this. Never tried any, and have absolutely no interest. And yet, the prohibition does more harm than good.
I argue that prohibition would’ve been more successful if it wasn’t radicalized and extreme. That is what it’s problem was and why so many were against it and it fell apart.
The number of people addicted to caffeine I have met is higher than any other drug. People openly talk about caffeine headaches around me and I’m always left wondering why they don’t just stop consuming so much of it.
Then again I also don’t understand the taking Advil/Aleve/Motrin/Aspirin/Tylenol and such all the time. I can understand taking them for irregular occurrences or even regular ones like cramps, but if a doctor isn’t telling you to take multiple pills daily, there is probably something else going on.
