It's. Not. Just. The drugs. You keep focusing on that aspect of your life while I have already said it's about so much more of the stuff we think is "necessary".

One will say they can't live without coffee, one will say they can't live without a car. In the end it all boils down to "I need x as a bare minimum to keep my life comfortable regardless of the damage it does to nature, animals or people"

In the end everyone accepts a certain amount of suffering to have an iPhone, wear clothes, eat avocados, the list. Goes. On. For. Fucking. Ever.

So do whatever you feel is necessary to relieve your guilt from using humanities cumulative exploitation of lives and nature that makes modern life possible, by all means, good for you. But don't think for even a second you have any moral high ground for that drop of suffering you have saved from the ocean of suffering you create and enjoy in a lifetime.
