Ohhh wow. I haven't done cocaine but coke + psychedelics sounds like it's not a good combo 😬

yeah, sounds like he got dealt a real shit hand, hopefully he's doing better or if not, gets to a better spot eventually

Better non-animal pre trial tests (this is a broad category of things), full health care such that any side effects will be cared for and they'll be compensated for accordingly, better information sharing so people can give fully informed consent.

those are the main things that come to mind off the top of my head, I'm sure there are other things that could go into it too

We should make it easier for cancer patients to opt-in to trials.

I do consider that more ethical, however it's still far from ideal. We can do our best to make medical trials safer too, not sure why it would be different

"This being your only option would be poverty, not an alternative to it."

it shouldn't be anyones only option. Extremely dangerous jobs are already lots of peoples only option, and it's a bad thing. That doesn't mean "turn around and torture animals instead"

the problem is, right now there's not much incentive to find cruelty free filters (i.e. making sure a novel compound is "safe enough" for human trials), in fact finding them is disincentivized because animal tests are mandatory. So we should incentivize finding better ways to test and screen new drugs. Not torture animals.

No, I'm saying let's find a cure without torturing innocent animals

I'm not saying discard all present knowledge. I'm saying stop testing on animals and find other ways to test treatments going forwards

But I would prefer, if I had a fatal disease, to be told "we don't know how to cure this because we can't test a cure without torturing animals" than for there to be a cure at the cost of all those innocent animals being tortured.

That's already basically what we do, lots of homeless folks do drug trials for money. And there are tons of super risky jobs people do because they pay well. But it's not good, it should be that people do all those things for reasons other than their only options being that or poverty

We got a gobby lover over here

holy shit that's a lot 😳😳 did he end up getting charged for possesion of drugs tho? Was it worth it?

I think the numbers in the name are there to order them despite having the same strength

Yeah... you can definitely take enough to forget that what you're experiencing is caused by a drug you took lol
