Thank you based anon. Drug using degenerates need to understand how they have no place here. They need to kill themselves immediately.

>> No.6978759

The only problem with that message is that alcohol is obviously a drug as well. In fact, it's neurodegenerative, which the vast majority of illegal drugs are not (with some exceptions, like regular amphetamine use, inhalants, and PCP). Yes, you can literally smoke weed 24/7/365 or be addicted to painkillers for 20 years, quit, and you will not permanently lose any cognition. Alcohol, though, causes brain damage. Plus it's super addictive.

But normies don't view alcohol as a drug because they're all in denial. Normies hate cannabis and psychedelic users, but don't give getting drunk a second thought. It's ridiculous.

>The slogan was part of a long-term effort by the United States in its war on drugs started by President Richard Nixon in 1971. Part of this campaign was to publicize the message about the harm of drugs to the youth, with the FBI focusing on how to use public messaging to spread this message out widely. Sessions, who became FBI Director in 1987, established the FBI's Drug Awareness Program to get these messages to reach the youth and teenagers.[1]

>In 1989, Bob Davenport, the director of the FBI's Office of Public Affairs, was tasked by Sessions to get anti-drug public service announcements towards children. Various ideas were tried but without success. While at a dinner meeting with former FBI agent and Davenport's acquaintance Robert Fay, by then the president of the AAMA, the subject of this PSA came up. Fay's former role in the FBI had been part of a white collar crime unit who had led the investigation into a counterfeit video game ring, which led to Fay's transition to the AAMA. Fay had sway over the various companies in the AAMA due to having helped stopped this counterfeit ring, and thus was able to get the AAMA to agree to include the message, once it was decided.[1] Sessions, Davenport and Fay worked through several iterations of the slogan, eventually coming to "Winners Don't Use Drugs" as a short, uplifting message that not only applied to video games but other facets of life.

>Fay secured 20 arcade manufacturers to include the slogan in their games in exchange for these games being featured to the FBI. The slogan was shown in the arcade games' attract mode so that it would be highly visible across arcades.[1] The slogan made its official debut on January 10, 1989, when three major games that included the slogan were shown to the press.[1] A law was also passed that required all imported arcade games to carry the message

The problem is that you pot sucking apologists seem to think if you sprinkle some pseudo intellectual bullshit in your incoherent weed fueled rants that it offers some validity to what you're saying.

You're the lowest form of life on earth and the grand sum of what you and your shitstain kind have contributed is "duuudeweedlol".

You are the normie, you mush brained piece of shit. Potheads are a protected class that normies love, even if they're just LARPing. You are human waste and I wish you could die from your shitty pot use. Then there'd be less of you inflicting your degeneracy on the rest of us.

Good luck with your complete lack of self-awareness as you shit on other people for doing things you don't like.

Does your country have cannabis conventions? Go to one and tell us again that it's not neurodegenerative.

If you can't go to one, I suggest you this alternative:
1. Go to your local psych ward.
2. Count the number of alcoholics.
3. Count the number of psychedelic users.
4. Compare prevalence with that of the non-crazy population
5. Be thankful you're still not at that point.

>credits his achievement to the influence of LSD
Kek, that's exactly the kind of delusions LSD causes. If an ultra-christian engineer credited God for his invention, would you believe him too?

It's the same thing. Most human brains are simply not prepared to deal with that substance gracefully. No matter how little you think it affected you, it likely re-wired your brain, almost certainly for the worse.

By the way, I think everybody should be free to take drugs, as long as they're informed. That's why I fight disinformation.

>or be addicted to painkillers for 20 years, quit, and you will not permanently lose any cognition.
This is totally false. Painkillers are well-known for permanent cognitive effects. It's only a matter how of how long and how strong.

Alcohol in small amounts infrequently doesn't cause brain damage. Isn't there even a theory about how it kills off a small amount of the weakest brain cells allowing the brain to grow better ones.

"you're just saying that because you don't want to give up drink"

I never drink. I never liked the taste but mostly it has other aging effects and ups your risk of cancer. So drink is bad, I'm just saying I don't think non-binge drinking causes the neurodegeneration you're describing. People find it so odd when I say I've never really liked/taken alcohol I'm considering changing my story to say I used to be massive drinker long ago and had to quit cold-turkey, because that would unironically make me seem less of a weirdo to them.
