My apologies for not replying good sir (my notifications are bugged). Drugs of the pharmaceutical variety not normally available by prescription are sometimes S tier. Lets say for instance that Lab grade DMT would be one of them. There are plenty of amphetamine varieties, various opioid and opioid-like varieties along with gabanergics that have been used in studies or even taken off market.
Surprised no one mentioned Wolf of Wall Street here yet, where McConaughey's character is like "How the fuck else are you suppose to do this job?". Not that its defensible, but to highlight the ethical bankruptcy of all those characters with the "step on whoever, stab whoever" results oriented approach with no moral or legal consideration.
alt text/explaining the joke to the blind: An image of Lenny from "The Simpsons" kissing a box of Special K, itself a joke to the fact that Elon Musk likes to use Ketamine, commonly called "Special K" on the street.
gross. i bet even when he peaks and is in a state of pure bliss, the best anyone could hope for in terms of good company is that he rambles about how great and positive and beneficial and necessary all his ideas are.
This might be a bit tin-foil, but I really don't buy a lot of this news.
If the likes of Andy Jassy or Tim Cook were reportedly huge crack users, you could all but guarantee that there would be a VP or SVP that would be plotting a coup, and you'd bet that they'd have full shareholder approval. Musk owns most of his companies, bar Tesla, where he owns around 13-15%. Surely at this point there would be someone either internal or external that would love to own Tesla, even if just for the name?
Tesla doesn't really have much to gain by being attached to Musk. If anything, the outlandish shit he's got that company doing instead of fucking making the cars he's said for years they would make holds them back.
Take the news at face value, and it paints a picture where law enforcement will be involved already. Now, take it, knowing that Musk is a deeply troubled man that lost his family and is neck-deep in the alt-right machine alongside people that can handle it far better than him, and this "news" sounds like the kind of rumour that Musk would probably spread himself to make him seem more...edgy?
If it's true, coercing someone to take highly illegal drugs is probably a crime in the US, and probably one that would warrant the police to maybe pay these people a visit, perhaps?
I have trouble to buy this. Tesla's shares are massively over-inflated, and it is all due to Elon's media over-exposition from back when it wasn't so negative. Anyone with enough Tesla's shares and the capacity to play politics within the company understands that killing the clown means the whole ship sinks down. The correct play here is to slowly rid yourself of Tesla stock before it completely crashes, not to draw attention into him.
it's interesting that all these stories are running in the WSJ and mainly other Murdoch rags. Failure son James is on the board - and the ol' Dirty Digger and the Oracle of Bullshit himself were photographed sitting together at the Superbowl this time last year. Whatever is going on is being orchestrated for some reason that shall likely soon become apparent.
If a successful exit is the play, surely there's no better reason to push an external candidate to take over? It's an immediate exit at a high price, or an opportunity to offload stock on a positive note instead. This assumes someone comes in with the sole intention of selling to a company like Ford.
While I don't disagree about Tesla's valuation, people have been saying this for years and years now. When will it be true?
I haven't gotten far enough in the comments to see it, but I'm a bit miffed that rich assholes can admit to doing lsd on the national media and be fine, while poor people go away for years for a couple grams of marijuana...
Hi, just in case you were wondering, drugs aren’t by default good. They carry risks of all sorts, from killing your liver, cancer, death, addiction, a crutch to avoid dealing with shit, or psychological problems. Too many problems to list. The drug community is usually the first to blame their own when something goes wrong by citing failure to follow some broscience or other old-wives wisdom, or just act like it’s not a problem caused by the drug, just the user. What, didn’t you do a full family psychiatric history before taking (drug) and having a psychotic break? Well, damn…not the drug’s fault.
All that said, I’m not anti-drug, if people want to do that stuff that’s up to them.
No different than someone trying to sell me on drinking more or that alcohol is ok. Ok, maybe I’ll have an extra beer or three, and if someone says that alcohol isn’t great…they’re right. Even if I don’t really want to hear it.
Yes we seem to have gotten to the point of liberalism that "drugs are good". No, illicit drugs are generally not good, but there are circumstances where they can be useful or better than the legal alternative. They need to be regulated and treated like a health issue rather than a criminal one.
Irrelevant comment, but I wish that psychedelics were not classified by people as drugs. There is little in common in impact to your health and to your "high" between traditional drugs like cocaine and opioids and psychedelics.
They mean, they shouldn't be scheduled. Regulated, like tobacco and alcohol, but not scheduled.
Caffeine, chocolate, heck aspirine, acetamenaphine, and countless other drugs aren't even regulated. But it's clear what they're trying to say: many scheduld drugs shouldn't be illegal to produce or use.
i have hallucinogen perception persistance disorder, basically means im permanantly tripping from abusing lsd in my early 20s. shit can be dangerous, punching holes in my brain aye
I mean, they not only change things in your body and meet the definition of a drug. But make far more of a change in your body than say Tylenol, ibuprofen, or nicotine. They impare your judgment more than weed or alcohol. Maybe less long term effects than alcohol, as long as you don't kill someone in the process since you perception of reality is impared. It makes perfect sense that it is considered a drug. Now, whether they want to legalize it with stipulations to keep people around you safe (i.e., regulate the drug) is a different discussion.
I think it's person to person and dose dependent. I can't walk after even delta 8. Unless I take enough acid to become one with the world, I'm fine. I enjoy life a little more at most.
I don't give a shit about regulation, but being able to buy some of these chemicals in the open would be so much safer.
I did not say that they are safe, especially if taken regularly, but they are quite different. And there is evidence that psychedelics do change people for the better too and are being investigated for things like depression treatment.
LOL WUT? A drug is everything that changes your psyche in any way in my book. Heroin, Alcohol, LSD, Weed, Paracetamol, Caffeine, Cocaine. It's ALL drugs!
