No, it’s not preposterous, your analogy does not hold. We have no reason to WANT to drink rattlesnake venom, but we do USE it for anti-venin.
160,000 matches for drinking snake venom on google.
Some are people asking if it is dangerous, some are accounts of what parts of the world people already do it.
We must use reason in our decision making, granted.
My Analogy does hold. If smoking pot is the most helpful thing to help with glaucoma, fine. If you use it to nod out because you’d like to get high and increase your odds of variou brain disorders, not fine. Same with venom and anti venom
