Not an argument.

Alcohol is tremendously addictive. A heavy alcoholic can die from the withdrawals. Heroin withdrawals, while very miserable, will not kill you. Benzo withdrawals are the only other popular drug where withdrawals can kill you. Physical addiction is worse than psychological addiction, wouldn't you agree?

>dangerous
Many more people die from alcohol than heroin a year. People who drink alcohol will often drive intoxicated. They will do dangerous things due to lower inhibition. That being said, risk to personal safety in regards to legality is not an argument.

>as far as the third, you asked why heroin is worse than alcohol. social stigmas would make it worse.

Nice fallacy, btw. Appealing to what's socially acceptable. It's socially acceptable to drink sodas, too. Should you drink a soda every day? It's more socially acceptable to smoke cigarettes. Are cigarettes bad for your health?

Whether you're intending for legality to be determined or not is more of a moot point. I have a problem with the main premise of your argument, which is "you should always consider what people will think about you before you do something. If it's a social stigma it's bad, and don't do it. I guess I shouldn't be on 4chan any more, shouldn't play video games, shouldn't laugh at off-color jokes, etc."

Just come into the thread.

What's with the autist screeching about heroin and people replying to said autist? "Not an argument" is never a proper reply to a point someone made in an argument. How socially inept can a person possibly be to keep shitting out from their mouth?

Heroin is worse than alcohol in term of social reaction to it. Argue against this if you want, but if you go out and ask 10 randomly selected people (Instead from your neighborhood, which can be biased toward your own opinion due to variety of reasons) and ask them which one they think is worse, taking heroin or getting a beer, most of them will answer heroin.

Alcohol and heroin both have terrible side effects. Trying to compare a stab wound in the heart and a gunshot in the heart is problematic, but it should be suffice to say that, if it's not worse, it should be just as bad.

>all these people arguing about herion addicts and alcoholics
It's like you haven't been around either of them. /ck/ I know it's fun to have your nonfood related alcohol threads but alcoholism is extremely pathetic and alcoholics are incredibly uncomfortable to be around. Same with herion and opiods addicts. Society would come to a standstill if addicts were of these drugs were the norm. Suffering would be high.

I don't care if you are autistic and can't see past the micro level. At the macro, mass opioids and alcohol addiction would be a huge problem. Which is why people are trying to solve it now

Anyone that doesn't get the social stigmas from hundreds of years of addiction is autistic or retarded

Sucks for us functioning addicts. Shit's getting harder to find because the majority of folks have no self control. If you're taking them strictly recreationally, you have to make rules.

I stopped taking them though because scoring them became such a pain in the ass.

It will probably be made illegal eventually once people come to terms with how bad the obesity epidemic is.

The legality of things like this depends entirely on social attitudes. For example, alcohol is illegal, not because it's good for society (think of all the crime that would be avoided in an alcohol-free world), but simply because people WANT it to be legal. We as a society have agreed that we like alcohol so much that we will just cope with the consequences of keeping it legal.

Cigarettes are going the other direction, there are more and more limits on the legality of smoking, things like restrictions on our ability to market cigarettes, where you can and cannot smoke, legal age, etc.

It's more likely that restrictions like those will be placed on shit like Baskin Robbins, limiting their ability to advertise or requiring health disclosures. Imagine the same calorie cocktail but with a great big ugly health warning on it about the dangers of obesity.

Another possibility is limiting the serving size that they're allowed to sell, which you see with things like the Big Gulp law.

The idea is not only to protect stupid people but also to protect the social cost of having an obese population - more people on disability, unable or unwilling to work, soaking up health care dollars, etc.

Interesting. I assume this wasn't in the UK?

I am genuinely amazed that something like that with more calories than most people's daily allowance can be sold as a single serving. Would be interested to see the new one

I'm less bothered by the sheer number of calories, and more offended by how much sugar is in it. It must be sickeningly sweet. The only part that should be illegal is how much sugar they put in it because of how disgusting it must be.
>>
>>8633488
>For example, alcohol is illegal, not because it's good for society (think of all the crime that would be avoided in an alcohol-free world), but simply because people WANT it to be legal.

Alcohol is entirely harmless in the way most people consume it. A couple beers a week has zero effect on your well-being. There are some people that have problems with it or binge-drink, but that is a small minority.
This is why it's legal.

The 2600Cal shake is *always* bad for you, for everyone and every time (unless you are a dirty bulker from /fit/). When you consume it, assuming you didn't eat nothing else that day, you will have gained a pound of fat.
That's why it should be regulated into oblivion.

A pound of fat is 3500 calories. You're not gonna gain a pound of fat in a single day from drinking this and only this.

A bit redundant.

>>8633957

>>
>>8633943
Yes, but most people will not fast an entire day and part of the next one to just drink this shake. They'll have their regular meals and on top of that this monstrosity, and most likely even some added junk from the place that sells this shake.

People don't casually and socially shoot up heroin. Alcohol is its own demon but it's harder to get physically addicted and it's more acceptable because it's used as a social lubricant. Also sipping on tasty beer and wine is far away from injecting dirt into your veins.
>>
>>8631827
Ditto on popping in.
While they are two different beasts, they're both honestly rather comparable.

With both handled properly, alcohol is more damaging. Liver damage and cancerous metabolites are inherent to consuming ethanol itself in any manner.
But heroin is more EASILY damaging when handled incorrectly. Proper needle protocol is hard. Adulterants are common. The current unregulated nature makes a recipe for disaster where purity is concerned, and illegal trade itself has plenty of dangerous aspects (Social, physical aggression, dangers of punishment).

With heroin, like most other painkillers, there's actually little direct damage handled properly. Long term dangers of that are limited to weakened immune system and lower T, maybe memory problems but not as severe as ethanol.
But that's being handled absolutely proper. Always on, never off, or at least a strong slow taper beforehand, never overdosing, always sterile and controlled. It's nigh impossible.

As for the social acceptability, there are reasons for it.
GABAergics like alcohol primarily reduce aversion, anxiety and whatnot. They make people open up and stop worrying. It makes getting close to people easier.
Opioids make things comfortable. They just feel good. Good enough to kill pain of all sorts. But that's all. They're self pleasuring and provides no overall benefit for a group.
While they certainly tried to ban everything, alcohol was too useful socially, so prohibition on that had amazing backlash.

Opioids are easier to get addicted to for objective reasons as well.
Rather than just removing fear, worry, and excess energy, they are directly pleasureful.
You can still function on lower doses while feeling good. So it sounds like a good idea to live on, go to work, etc. You don't feel too fucked up.
There's no ethanol smell from excretion and exhalation.
Needles aside it just doesn't feel dangerous.

That being said, there are ways out. If anyone gets stuck, kratom works very well.
>>
>>8633996
>People don't casually and socially shoot up heroin
Why not? You don't have to use a needle, either. It can be smoked. That's not an argument.

>You understand that is a fucking QUART of "shake", right? I mean yes this is completely fine. if you were eating a normal serving size (about 25% of the thing) it's 650 calories.


Baskin Robbins Chocolate Ice Cream Quart

Serving Size: 1/2 cup

Servings Per Container: 4

amount per serving

calories: 170

calories from fat: 80

total calories per container: 680

total calories from fat: 320

sugars: 20g


That isn't one quart (more like a gallon), a normal serving size is not a quarter of that (it would be around 1/16), and it is NOT completely fine. You are wrong in every possible way, and most likely obese.

Not the person you're replying to, but
1 gallon is 4 quarts
1 quart is 4 cups
so 1 gallon is 16 cups

So the baskin robins ice cream "quart" in your post is actually half a quart since it is only 2 cups (1/2 cup * 4 servings)

Meanwhile the OP image's quart is actually a quart. Fuck, I hate American unit volume calculations.

unless you overdose and die heroin doesn't do much damage to your body compared to other drugs out there

equally drinking alcohol can be pretty harmless but you literally cannot deny that shit loads of people die as a direct result of drunk retards driving cars or just straight up alcohol poisoning; junkies mostly do damage to themselves

also as someone who's done both, alcohol can definitely fuck you up just as hard if not more so

Idk what kind of alternative facts you got there, but 4*.5 cups doesn't equal 4 cups, it equals 2 cups, aka a pint. A pint is half a quart. A cup is 8 floz. A pint is 16. A quart, or a quarter gallon, is 32 floz. OP's example is literally 32 floz, aka a quarter of a gallon or a quart.

Also I just suggested one cup as a rational serving size because serving size is arbitrary af, and pretty much nobody would expect 4 floz as a serving of pretty much anything.
>>
>>8636287
I'd say more so without a doubt. Since ethanol kills fear and worry, it makes people willing to do things without caring about the consequences.
That on top of the heavy sedation as doses increase leads to really dangerous mindsets. Especially if the user is prone to unprovoked aggression.

Painkillers, on the other hand, don't directly provoke aggression or confusion. There may be some irritability at anything interrupting the blissful comfort (Known as opirage), but while intoxicated usesrs are pretty peaceful.
Withdraw generally makes users selfish, thieving, evil bastards. But only if they cannot plan their redose ahead of time.

The class that is most likely to cause damage to others is dissociatives. Particularly high doses of stimulating ones, like PCP.
Because they make you not give a shit for a different reason. Instead of killing fear and worry, they kill association. So rather than not being afraid of consequences, the user doesn't understand the concept in the first place.
That on top of the full body numbness, which makes pain seem invisible, makes the user feel like superman without a conscience.

Personally I think it should all be legal regardless.
Not because people SHOULD use anything.
But rather because illegality doesn't stop them, illicit trade can be dangerous, unregulated purity causes the most related deaths, and legalized shit can be taxed to death to pay for regulation while still profiting quite a ton.

And on that note, OP should be legal. Just taxed to death for health reasons.
>>
>>8630835
If that's the case people should be free to not pay for others retarded lifestyle through state healthcare or insurancE
>>
>>8636956
Not him but I do agree with that, personally.
Recreational use should not be covered with insurance. Much like it shouldn't cover plastic surgery or abortion (Not to derail over potential moral issues related, just saying).
Insurance should be for things out of people's direct control. Diseases, accidents, etc. Not necessarily limited to life threatening issues, but certainly targeted at them.
Because with how much medical education costs leading to how much medical care costs, leaving people for dead out of luck is scary.

Yes. Same way functional alcoholics drive every day while drunk putting lives at risk. A functional addict does not mean they live a perfect life. It isn't a term I made up.

You'd be surprised. I never did heroin, but I did lots of opiates. The high you get from that is more pleasurable than anything I've ever felt in my life.

I've heard of people doing opiates for fun, but not heroin. It's probably fun at first until you get more and more addicted, at that point you're just taking it to not puke your guts up and have loose booty.
>>
>>8640470
Opiates is just synthetic heroin. But what you say is true for any drug. Do enough of it and you'll get hooked. The alcoholic doesn't drink for fun anymore. In fact, the alcoholic could die if they stopped drinking suddenly.
>>
>>8640474
It seems like it's easier to get addicted to heroin than alcohol. I drink 1-2x per week and I go pretty hard, but I usually go 5 days in a row without drinking and don't get any cravings besides "I can't wait to have some fun on Friday and Saturday night!"
