It's probably higher than that. Probably 90% of people who take drugs are stupid.

Quote from: REBeing of average intelligence is still pretty fucking stupid.To folks on the high side of the distribution, sure it looks that way. And those of us on that high side find other ways to differentiate ourselves from even that herd. I am quite familiar with how that works, if only because I can name the folks, and their qualifications, of those who can do it to me.
Quote from: REAs criteria for identifying stupid people, drug use fails because the vast majority of Homo Saps are stupid. So making such a bet would itself be stupid, it's not a good discriminator.

Thus drugs perform an important social function. The overdosers win a Darwin Award. 😀
Quote from: REQuoteHow many happy consumers of illegal drugs have a doctor making sure they don't go overboard, mixing and matching their favorite hallucinagins?You really need a doctor for this?
QuoteDoctors just follow political guidelines with Schedule A illegal drugs. If you wanna understand the interactions, you need to know the biochemistry of how the drug works.

QuoteIndeed. Such is the way of drugs. Good thing I have a medical professional keeping an eye on mine!
