Fuck you Medium, I'm not giving you my details to read stories on your platform.
I think you're supposed to give them your money - at least I the long run.

#22Okay, we get it. Medium inserted a paywall. If we really wanna discuss that, can someone submit a story on it instead of posting top level comments here?
Meanwhile, what do people think of the actual article?
I'm really intrigued about exonerating drugs, but I'm way too scared to switch out my sertralin with shrooms or LSD

#23HN users: we're sick of ad-driven content! We want to pay for quality long-reads instead of BuzzFeed clickbait!
Also HN users: Medium has a paywall now! How dare they!

I give information away for free... Not everything has to be monetised. This article is interesting, it's more of a blog really though, regardless I don't expect to pay for it, If I wrote it I'd be happy to give it away for free... because cmon, it's a personal fucking blog, you would pay to read someones blog?

#26This article is about people without access using illegal drugs to self medicate. The title could be 'I was ill and used before it was cool.' I'm not judging, but maybe that's one thing we could be talking about.

Well, if you would be happy to give it away for free than go and do that. If you wouldn't pay - go and do that too, don't pay.
I, by the way, wouldn't (and didn't) pay for it too - but I sure as hell ain't complaining about it or try to tell people what to do with their intellectual property.

Well I sure as hell am complaining, I'm not saying people can't decide to monetise things... just don't expect me to not to complain that you are monetising something ridiculous as a result, those are freedoms of people on either side of the argument.

#29Why would people post to HN stories that are behind any kind of walls (paywalls or loginwalls, or whatever they are called)?
To advertise them. Duh.

If you're scared, it's best not to do it.
IMO the best approach is to read about experiences on Erowid and similar sites, get used to which dosages go approximately how far, and when you finally are ready, prepare your mindset and externalities to promote a good experience rather than a bad one. It really is all in your head.
