it doesn’t matter, any controlled substance

If that’s what you got from my comment you have serious reading comprehension problems. I am against the war on drugs.

Dictionary.com “any controlled substance whether sedative or stimulant”

It’s literally a definition. I’m being downvoted for being correct.

Merriam Webster “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

Merriam Webster “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

You’re actually wrong.

Merriam Webster “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

Merriam Webster 2nd definition “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

Almost entirely is NOT the same as entirely.

I didn’t realise the DEA were the only people who could define things. Outside of the US it can generally refer to illegal drugs

Are you telling me Merriam Webster and Dictionary.com is wrong? Things can have colloquial definitions

As a chronic masturbator I always though cum socks were a myth as tissues have been invented. You live and learn.

Not by all definitions of the word, narcotic can just mean an illegal drug. Different dictionaries define the word differently.

Really annoying how I’ve been downvoted for this, Merriam Webster defines a narcotic as “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

A quick Google search “a drug or other substance that affects mood or behaviour and is consumed for non-medical purposes, especially one sold illegally.”

Merriam Webster “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

They are narcotics though by definition.

Edit Merriam Webster: “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

I LIKE MAGIC MUSHROOMS YOU TWATS IM JUST CORRECT

Lemmy is so fucking stubborn when presented with conflicting information. Grow up you bell ends.

You’re so far gone in your cop hatred you see me as quoting the dictionary as somehow sticking up for cops. That’s how polarised and shitty you are.

I’m slightly older than you.

Not at my school we weren’t.

We didn’t learn about Sikhism in school (actually UK here)

To play devil’s advocate, isn’t it always the case that the government is balancing on the right rope between keeping the economy going and keeping people alive, even without a pandemic? With NHS funding, welfare and all sorts of things government has to decide where to draw the line.

Obviously Johnson handled this crisis horrificly though, but in terms of this quote he just said the quiet part loud.

I think following this logically this won’t be the case. If nobody has money then nobody can buy the products made by the AI companies. This will increase pressure for a generous UBI.

It’s now actually canon that Padme did send someone to try and free Shmi but they failed.

Yes too young to remember. Interesting.

Still though, the difference was stark. It does seem like less people slip through the net in the UK from my admittedly limited experience.
