Greed is not illegal and as long as you do not abuse it just like with alcohol, driving, etc. etc. You should be OK. You could say similar things about some drugs, some argue, unfortunately they are illegal, they can land you in jail, and they support a drug cartel.
>>"Better safe than sorry" is a platitude that can be used against any activity that entails some degree of risk.
But I wasn't using it for anything. I was using it for this specific case of doing illegal drugs. And mine was just an opinion, obviously nobody can stop you from doing what you want.
Yes, I can see that you picked this specific case to apply your platitude. Feel free to pick any number of other cases as well, completely at random if you wish, and your argument will propel them all with equal force.
Wether it is or not a platitude is irrelevant, it doesn't devalue the advise. It is good advise to tell somebody that it is better to be safe than sorry not to use an illegal substance especially if doing so can land you in jail.
