You don’t know whether or not things which render people who don’t even know they’ve been given them unconscious very quickly should be OTC or not? Really?
And about alcohol- it’s a horrible, horrible thing in many ways, including facilitating date rape (although nowhere near as easily as ketamine). And if prohibition hadn’t been a complete failure, I would support it continuing.
But I wouldn’t say keeping ketamine prescription-only has been the failure that prohibition was because otherwise we’d have a lot more Matthew Perrys and a lot more Bill Cosbys. Which is what you seem to want.
I’ve done ketamine before, I know many people who have, I know the context it is most used in, and I understand it’s far more of a recreational drug than a date rape drug. So I’m not falling for this fear peddling D.A.R.E level bullshittery on what it actually is.
As for trying to turn this into some moral attack on my character by calling me pro-overdose and pro-date rape, it’s unbecoming.
It may be unbecoming, but that is the end result of what you want.
“I enjoy this so I should have easy access to it” is a terrible argument. People enjoy going out into a field and blowing shit up with various explosives. That doesn’t mean they should have easy access to C4 or RPGs.
Alcohol is not that bad? Are you fucking serious? Do you know how many millions of alcoholics there are in this world and how so many of them have destroyed their entire families?
You can buy tannerite at the grocery store, though. It’s not entirely unreasonable to ask that society apply their principals, however warped they may be, consistently.
I don’t disagree. And as I said, if prohibition hadn’t been a complete shit show, I would support it. However, making ketamine prescription-only has not been a complete shit show.
Honestly, if I ran things, doctors would give prescriptions for alcohol and cigarettes too. Because they’re really fucking dangerous, unlike things like cannabis.
Yes, again, date rape drugs can also be party drugs.
And, again, are you arguing that general anesthetics should be OTC?
Do you call alcohol a date rape drug?
I will answer your question when you answer the one I have asked you twice now.
Dunno.
Am I fine with people using ketamine recreationally, sure.

Yeah, nah.

Yet it’s the same argument society accepts with alcohol and it’s not that bad.

But good luck passing those laws.
