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?
Is not the whole damn point of eradicating capitalism to free us from the perverse commodification of every aspect of human life? Like I don't know about you folks but I thought the whole goal is to live in a world where we can create art independent about whether it is good or not (and I mean the idea of objectively good art is pretty sus), but entirely because its enjoyable to create.
