Starwynd- your statement canāt even be called an argumentā¦
Iām not the one making the argument, which is that because the drug caused a death it should be banned. Well, for the sake of moral consistency, letās take that logic and apply it evenly to all drugs.
Since people die from all drugs, due to complications from harmful side effects, and many drugs do cause harmful side effects, letās ban them so people can be protected from harm.
People even die from alcohol poisoning and cancer caused by tobacco too.
But morality is rarely applied evenly. And by that I mean everybody should follow the same rules without exception or double standards or special privaleges and lives by the same standards and holds themselves to the same standards they expect everybody else to live by. However, very few people actually do that. And Iāve never encountered anybody who does that.
Iām not the one who made the argument, which is because the drug did harm letās ban it. So for once letās apply that kinbd of logic evenly to all similar situations.
But I bet it wonāt be done.
Because there is just too many strong emotions that attached to hot button issues such as and definitely not limited abortion, and itās always different when it itās more personal because itās always easier to make blanket judgments, or knee jerk reactions, against faceless people miles away.
If any drugs cause harm then they should all be banned.
If not then letās stop playing stupid games and just admit itās all based on personal bias and prejudism.
