Oh fuck does that mean drugs aren’t vegan
On a serious note, a lot of drugs are produced in ways that are completely unethical. You aren't going to get something like "ethically sourced" cocaine, for example. People are forced to cultivate it. People are forced to traffic it. And people are killed over it. Buying cocaine in the US is contributing to institutions that are violent and reactionary.
It's infinitely worse than buying a cybertruck.
Yes, that's how capitalism works
There's a difference between accidently buying vegetables from a farm with unethical labor practices and buying a product that is exclusively controlled by drug cartels who torture and murder anyone they don't like.
Unless you have your own private cocaine plantation in Columbia for your own personal use, the coke you're snorting was given to you by someone who murdered an entire family because one of them was a lawyer or journalist investigating the murder of a different family.
Like if you don't buy from Nestlé because they use slaves to farm chocolate, you shouldn't be buying coke lol
I do buy from nestle. It's unavoidable. Don't you?
You're not wrong. Buying illegal drugs funds bad things. But that's true of most legal things, too. These are useful things to think about, but they're systemic issues. If you refuse to buy illegal drug for moral reasons, then that's great! But it's the moral equivalent of recycling. It does nothing to solve the root problem, and mainly just provides a sense of moral superiority while shifting the blame to individuals.
When it comes to drugs, drugs, drugs, you should ask your mom or ask your dad which are good and which are bad.
