I don’t think this is that unpopular, other than with smokers/ vapers. In the UK smoking is already banned everywhere indoors at least.

Eh medicine is never black and white. People are all different and drugs have slightly (or wildly) different effects for different people. Non regulated drugs have bigger variations in quality, purity and dosage so people can have very different experiences.

Some people need drugs, diabetics need insulin for example. And some people really benefit from drugs if they are depressed or have other long term conditions etc. So your stance that people who don’t take drugs are better off is maybe coming from a flawed assumption, certainly if you don’t need drugs that’s usually better but if you do need them the right drugs can be a big help for people.

It’s much more grey with recreational drugs in terms of benefits. Alcohol for example is actively harmful most of the time for most people, especially with things like binge drinking in the UK. Studies show there are likely some benefits from moderate alcohol consumption but often in combination with things like the Mediterranean diet so take from that what you will.

That is some dedication to giving yourself some mental scarring right there. Like you worked hard to see that stuff.

Dunno that I’d go as far as abuse, maybe neglect if your parents didn’t at least try and prevent you from seeing awful stuff on the web.

Abuse would be if someone was actively showing you awful stuff.

This is also something a responsible dog owner should train out of their dog when they are young.

It’s cute when the puppy does it, it’s not cute when the full grow dog knocks over grandma.

The best way we found was “boring human” the dog jumps up because it’s excited and then jumping gives them more positive feedback usually with a big reaction. Boring human means you ignore the dog until it does a better behaviour like sit then give it lots of praise.
