    Society’s responsibility

    If you make everyone have a good life then there’s no need for drugs

      So is making sure bad drivers are not on the road, but you still put on your seatbelt.

      If you make everyone have a good life then there’s no need for drugs

      Some people will make stupid choices regardless how good a life they have.

      Lmfao that’s so naive dude. I know people who led perfectly healthy and happy lives but used recreational and party drugs because it was fun. That’s it, just cuz it was fun. You can’t put the consequences of people’s thrill seeking on society.
