In fact I think it insults this group, though even very highly educated people may not know just how bad overuse can be. I very obviously know of amphetamines' uses in ADHD and so on by qualified physicians. If I advised people not to get obese because of the threat of high blood pressure and diabetes, would I be scaremongering? Hardly. Clearly there are people who take uppers who are not aware of the dangers (not our group, likely). bill w</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 27, 2022 at 2:44 AM Rafal Smigrodzki via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Mar 26, 2022 at 10:49 PM Will Steinberg via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I don't think people should be allowed to speak in such an opinionated manner regarding drugs if they haven't tried them themselves.
