I found the question come up on both communist and anarchist subs, and the difference in responses was quite striking.
As a longtime PTSD sufferer who self-medicates to the hilt just to do simple things like fall asleep or leave the house, the idea that I would either lose access to, be forced underground, or prosecuted for my recreational habits terrifies me.
I understand the rationale is in a functioning communist state, I would no longer feel the need for those drugs. Does it follow the science of recreational marijuana, psychedelics, ADHD, anxiety, depression, etc.? Or is the ambition to ween everyone off? And does that apply for all manner of distraction and entertainment as well?
Labor made the Internet, labor democratized information and opinions. Why the fuck is labor censoring shit? I imagined the left crushing the need to appeal to advertisers on YouTube. Freeing people from having to appeal to anyone as they upload without needing to consider if it will get monitized. The means of production are already there, it's not like you need to recreate the infrastructure.
