[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (2 children) I feel like Tasha was talking more about heroine and less about weed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children) True but opiates are similar. The American opiate crisis began with prescribed painkillers. A lot of people slowly became addicts without realizing it was happening because they just took the pills when it hurt not realizing eventually that some of the pain was withdrawal. The schedule 1 definition (high risk of abuse, no medicinal purpose) is the sort of thing that while I get it, I don't know of any drugs that actually belong there. Psychedelics are on it despite having low risk of abuse and medical uses. Cannabis is an analgesic, antiemetic, and appetite enhancer. Ecstasy has a place in ptsd treatment. Heroin, cocaine, and meth are all schedule 2. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] nexguy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago The American opioid crisis was more of a late 90s thing while Yar's comments were created from the 80s environment which was much more likely to derive from the surge in use of crack cocaine at the time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 child) The schedule 1 definition (high risk of abuse, no medicinal purpose) is the sort of thing that while I get it, I don't know of any drugs that actually belong there. Hmmm... I wonder if krokodil (a slavic concoction of under-the-sink chemicals that is like meth on crack) has a medicinal use we just haven't thought of yet? 🤔 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 child) Isn't krokodil a variety of active chemicals? There are absolutely drug combos that are entirely destructive permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 point 10 months ago* I cannot remember what the real drugs going into the cocktail were over the effects prolonged abuse has on the body TBH. But IIRC, one thing often found in it was literal battery acid. And to be fair to my shit memory, that might have just been things people ended up getting instead of the drugs they were looking for because people are assholes and will sell a junky literal poison just to take their money. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 10 months ago* Space Meth. Her background has to be one of the most fucked up in Star Trek, tbh. I can never forget her talking about rape gangs on her home colony. permalink fedilink source parent
