Don't forget /r/opiates an incredibly depressing subreddit which has 130k subs where you can actively see people of all ages destroying their lives and getting advice on how to shoot up and score heroin. A place that has bi-weekly memorial threads because posters are constantly overdosing and dying. This is all after they cleaned the sub up it used to be far worse and people would make threads where they would share mugshots from their recent drug arrests and laugh about it. If reddit wants to crack down on subs where people put dangerous drugs into their body that might kill them they are completely hypocritical for leaving this sub up for the past 12 yearsSo, one of the arguments I saw against the existence of NoNewNormal used most often was that people are encouraging one another to take a drug that might wind up killing them.
Fair enough.
So why do all of these subs exist?
r/cocaine
r/heroin
r/meth
r/crack
r/fentanyl
r/drugs
r/stims
r/cripplingalcoholism
r/gluesniffing
I'm sure there's a ton more, but that's as much as I give a shit. None of those subs are focused on addiction recovery, they're all people bragging about what they just got from their dealers with the occaisonal glimmer of self-awareness.
