and I don't think it's fair for you to compare Alcohol to drugs.
and I don't think it's fair....do we really want to play this game?

I wasn't trying to play any games I was just sharing my opinion that psychedelics are in a different class than the drugs that kill people, perhaps "I don't think its fair" wasn't the best way to start that sentence.

Alcohol is a drug though, and it kills more people than psychedelics.

and what exactly has alcohol got to do with labgrown meat?
you logical fallacy is false equivalency.

But WAIT..there's MORE
your OTHER false eqivalency is comparing (somehow) comparing psychedelic DRUGS to eating lab grown meat.

NOTE: the word MEAT refers to muscle...

I am just having a conversation with you that went in that direction because we were discussing drugs, I wasn't intending to argue with you. In my original post to you I said that you brought up some good points about the lab grown meat.

The post was not just about lab grown meat, it was also about normalizing cannibalism.

and yet...you inferred (false equivalence) that somehow Dawkins was somehow hypocritical because he wasn't a druggie.

Oh, by the way..when I said Meat is muscle..that't not technically true. All tissue is meat..but muscle is typicall called meat...the other stuff (viceria...offal...skin...brains) are called by their names.

for example..a kidney (organ meat)...is sold as kidneys...same for liver or gizzards..
