Don't know if I mentioned this, but I know a guy who used to work for El Chapo.
He was basically a nanny / driver / bodyguard of El Chapo's kids. Made sure they got to school. Taught them English. Protected them from other Cartels.
I have no beef with someone who offers drugs to people.
No one forces anything and I'm personally against prohibition.
There's a subtle distinction here - offering drugs to someone is a light phrase - it tends to take 2 forms:
1) You get known as the go to guy for a drug/drugs through contacts etc or
2) You openly sell and offer (ie push drugs) to people.
1) is fine - if people want it, you got it. You provide a service. Number 2 is not so fine. Most people won't care if offered H, white, crack whatever - but a recovering addict, naive person or similar (kid under peer pressure) is being put in a horrible spot.
I don't gamble, especially not on sports - it just doesn't float my boat. Gambling is not only legal here, it is abetted by government - shops everywhere, casinos everywhere, and, most pervasively, online and mobile gambling. Now that all brishes over me. I don't care what the odds are on a football match. But I know addicts/former gambling addicts who cannot now watch sports because it is constant pushing of gambling. You may have never had addiction but their heart would be racing and they would feel horrible tension and anxiety... because an addictive activity is being pushed. When I say pushed, it is on billboards, jersey sponsors, all ads between breaks and all tv programmes, websites etc.
Anyway, slight deviation but you get the idea. I agree with legalisation, disagree that offering (pushing) is without issues.
