I'm down with the dictatorship of the proletariat, but fuck off if you're coming for my ketamine, 2CB, DMT, salvia, cannabis, etc. Everything I've read into and history's precedent tells me it's a pretty clear ban on everything.

And no lazy, bullshit responses like, "Well if we're in a communist utopia, I think you'll find there will be no need to take mind-altering substances, which clearly only exclusively exist as a response to captitalism."

Curiosity, spirituality, and exploring the unknown will exist in perpetuity. I just wonder what limitations will be impressed upon society.

    My understanding is that communism is a political science. As with most sciences, it can adapt and change accordingly when new data arises.

    We don't live in the Reefer Madness era where pot was thought to be dangerous. Capitalism adapted to the point of legalising it for wageslaves in progressive first world countries, as a minor respite from the dread of mindless labour. Heck, we have Silicon Valley chuds microdosing on LSD to be more productive.

    Pot, blow, booze, whatever... if it makes for a happier prole, then why the hell not.

    The problem arises when it becomes a form of escapism that has you chasing dragons instead of living a more meaningful life. Do I get to choose the meaning of your life? Fuck no.

    I personally think drugs of all kind would be legalised in Fully Automated Gay Space Luxury Communism. There would also be rehabs for people who wish to rid themselves of the substance dependence.

    But till we reach that point, look around you. At the hellworld surrounding you. Short circuiting your brain synapses for pleasure does not make for a revolutionary imho.
