    We have all been conditioned by the media to think of drug dealers as bad people, but if you aren’t violent and only selling to consenting adults there is nothing inherently wrong or evil about it, other than braking the law. You are providing a valuable service to your community, like every other job.

      A lot of drugs are very addictive and ruin people’s lives. I’m well aware a lot of lives were ruined by the stigma attached to to drugs, but to swing from they are evil criminal people to just equating drug dealing with every other job is insane to me.

        If someone breaks their arm doing a skateboard trick, do you blame the seller of the skateboard?

        Consenting adults know the risk of taking drugs, if someone gets addicted the blame doesn’t fall on the dealer.

        Not to mention that the vast majority of drug users dont become addicted or have their lives ruined. Rather they have their lives significantly improved
