Feelings of wanting to dissappear and do nothing for a couple of days gave me a very good idea that would be a hit. Any enterprising individual should jump at this idea and make enough money to fund a revolutionary militia.

So you've seen all these fancy rehabs where it's peaceful and in a pretty location. You can get looked after as you "recover" from your addiction and then promptly relapse after succeeding in lowering your tolerance enough. Rich waspy types love this stuff and will dish out lots of money to get it.

The idea that I'm proposing is exactly this experience but they give you drugs instead of taking them away. Wouldn't it be lovely to dissappear for a couple of days while you get looked after and get given pharma grade heroin (or drug of your choosing). Then you can go back to your normal life and just tell people you were in rehab. Now you seem cool and mysterious to the people in your life because they think you're a tortured soul like Kurt Cobaine AND you had the best holiday of your life.

Feedback would be appreciated.

That is a great point about feeling like you're being watched all the time. Maybe it's something you can get used to after a couple of days.

I guess with current laws it would be in the hands of organised crime which isn't really ideal. Full scale legalisation would have to take into effect.

Out of interest though, do you think in a socialist or communist society all drugs would be legalised and regulated or would there still be some which wouldn't be available?

full legalization. you can't have a state-run economy opting-out of running bits of the economy that'd inevitably be happening under the table anyways.

Yeah I definitely agree although it does seem like a controversial issue even amongst some leftists. Especially with hard drugs like heroin or meth. Depending on how strict the controls are there probably would always be a black market for things I think.
