Thanks for the opinion, and I find the take interesting.
I’m not a fan of the line, “How about a policy that if you use illegal drugs you are presumptively considered not yet good enough to be in the community?”, in large part because of the phrase “not yet good enough”. This is a really thorny topic that seems to have several assumptions baked into it that I’m uncomfortable with.
I also think that many here like at least some drugs that are “technically illegal”, in part, because the FDA/federal rules move slowly. Different issue though.
I like points 2 and 3, I imagine if you had a post just with those two it would have gotten way more upvotes.
Thanks for the positive comment on (2) and (3) and I probably should have written them in a separate comment from (1). While I’m far from an expert on drugs or the California rationalist community, the comments on this post seem to scream “huge drug problem.” I hope leaders in the community at least consider evaluating the drug situation in the community. I agree with you about the FDA.
