I’m pretty libertarian in regards to things like drugs and sex, and am an addict myself. How would you guys feel about a harm reduction drug use sub forum?

      It would be nice to talk to more experienced addicts about what to avoid and mistakes and advice also without the prejudgement of other reactionary shitholes about this stuff.

      If you don’t see the point, you must not have ever had an active addiction. Some of this information can be invaluable and talking about with people who won’t judge you is invaluable as well

          Right I’m an active heroin/opiate addict and have been for a long time. The reason I find that a subforum would be good especially on a leftist subforum is because as I said, the other places are pretty reactionary in their attitudes towards drug users. Harm reduction is nothing, but a positive, to be frank I don’t even think this should be controversial just like something like insite shouldn’t be controversial.

              I don’t know. I don’t care that much, it was just an idea. Again I’m pretty libertarian in my drug use and think it’s something that should be discussed openly if you do it without shame. I understand others don’t particularly agree with that stance.

              It was just an idea that I don’t think I’m going to pursue anymore. I don’t want to get anyone upset.

                  Sure, I don’t even think I’m going to pursue it anymore. Too many people don’t seem comfortable with the idea and I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes or make anyone uncomfortable

                    It's always going to make people uncomfortable. Should we stop moving toward communism because it offends a large proportion of people right now?

                    Enough people will come around when they see something functional arising. And for the ones who don't, well, I personally don't give a fuck about their discomfort with change.
