Let’s be honest about why Recreational Drugs are banned in NZ

Majority of NZ drug and alcohol users experience no negative effects, study shows

Almost two-thirds of respondents to a nationwide survey say they don’t experience any negative effects from using alcohol or drugs.

It’s generally understood a lot of recreational alcohol or drug use isn’t harmful, but this is the first time in New Zealand – and perhaps globally – it has been quantified.

The data comes from the annual New Zealand Drug Trends Survey, an anonymous online survey run by Massey University’s Shore and Whāriki Research Centre. The latest survey is the first time respondents were asked about a full range of negative experiences from alcohol or drug use in the previous six months; 63% of a sample of almost 5000 users reported no harm over that time.

This isn’t surprising to lead researcher Professor Chris Wilkins, but he thinks “it will be surprising to some” because of the public’s negative connotations attached to drug use in general.

Capitalism requires you are angry and frightened and stressed out. It is driven by a consumerism culture that is always attempting to sell you happiness while playing to your neurosis and low self esteem.

During Covid lockdown, many workers had their first opportunity to scrutinise their wage addiction and quality of life and many decided to not come back.

The real reason drugs are banned in society is because if you are high, you can’t work.

Capitalism demands obedience from the broken, if you are soaring the cosmic skies and considering all matter is connected and that we are one consciousness, the boss isn’t exploiting you properly.

Drugs are illegal because Capitalism demands compliance from those it works to death, it doesn’t want you conscious or looking for deeper answers, it wants you vulnerable, weak and easily manipulated under its narrative structures of reality, not yours.

That so many using drugs face no negative side effect should be a headline screamed from the roofs, but the fact it is ignored, the fact the entire rational for the war on drugs is revealed to be false, the fact that there is another way of dealing with all of this highlights that the the system will not allow the simple truth of you not suffering any significant negative impact from illegally taking drugs  to even be considered.

Capitalism requires broken down easily manipulated worker drones, it doesn’t want self-realising individuals.
