All people are less likely to question something that reinforces their already held beliefs. Doubly so for religious true believers.

I doesn't matter how much knowledge you have. If you don't have the resources, it will never be enough.

My point is more that ethically they are different situations and that our language on the subject makes the delineation more difficult than it should be. We sort according to the legality under the law by default. That system of sorting leaves a lot of important nuance on the cutting room floor.

The terms are vague and often used interchangeably by the layman. Recreational is taken for enjoyment. Medication is taken to treat a condition. Many people also self-medicate with so-called recreational drugs. The lines are blurry at best and this makes the entire debate discussion that much more difficult.

Uhh, there was the clear mention of “NOAH GALLE was a minor and his parents were involved in the purchase of the Subject Vehicle knowing his long history of psychiatric care, psychiatric medication use, and/or his “unusual medical condition,” which may have contributed to the accident.” Psychiatric medication is drugs. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.

Trucks keep right and they won't have an issue. If people are passing you on the right and you aren't about to turn left, you're the one who's fucking up.

Reply to comment by PyrrhoTheSkeptic in TIL Australian band, Men At Work were sued over their song "Down Under" for similarities to an Australian nursery rhyme "Kookaburra". by El-Hairy
The difference between inspired by and ripping off is thinner than anyone likes to admit. Almost all music written is derivative, truly original music is honored and admired specifically because it defies that standard. It is horrible that artists that create original work are set upon by over-zealous content owners and their lawyers but it is worth mentioning that digital music and the widely available technology for sampling has made "legit" infringement super easy and so likely super common.
