Rant My Latest Peeve - 'Drug Misuse' warnings on Netflix...

[CurrentlySober]

I can remember seeing warnings of 'Drug Use' in a show or film on TV since I was first aware of any warnings... 'Drug Use' meant that characters in the show, or the general story line, would be about drugs , or people taking drugs. Fair enough.

Now Netflix uses the term 'Drug Misuse' instead. This annoys me. It's almost like it means people are going to be shown using drugs incorrectly! For example the main character gets a bag of weed buds, and instead of lighting up the weed in a bong, they are going to to cut it up with a razer and try to snort it!

Likewise, someone snorting a line of coke (for whatever reason) = 'Drug Use'
Someone throwing the coke of the floor, jumping up and down on it in hobnail boots, and then wondering why they are not getting high = 'Drug MISuse'

Surly the term 'Misuse' means using something incorrectly?

Final Example: I could 'Use' my car to drive to work. I could also 'MISuse' my car to deliberately run over and injure pedestrians !

I'd love to know the logic that lead to some person within netflix saying 'Hey, we need to change this to say 'Misuse'.... Its not 'Misuse' - Its 'Use' !!!

Anyway, that's all. /Rant.

Exactly !

That IS 'misuse'

Maybe Netflix thinks the only correct way to use drugs is by boofing them, and so far not a single show has done it, they're all misusing drugs.

We used to do that with ecstasy, back at the early UK raves in the ninety's.

Cant say if it really worked though, because we would all have so much fun doing it to one another, we'd end up just carrying on, and never get to the rave...

You certainly strike me as a man who knows the ins and outs of a butthole. I'd reckon it worked, or maybe you liked it for other reasons? After all, who cares, as long as you had fun.

Well, there was poo everywhere, all over our hands from multiple people, so it was Win/Win really...
