    anyone who reads the news today, at this point, and goes “yeah lets rawdog reality, why would I want to dilute it with drugs?” is a fucking sociopath.

        not really, just sucks when you’re out to not be so easily distracted by silly shit when the world is so… dismal. I quite like being able to be distracted from it all.

        Do you perchance drink coffee?

        (“But see, caffeine is different because it’s more accepted.”)

            So you don’t use caffeine? No tea, cola, or chocolates? Good for you.

            Not all medications are for fun. Chronic pain patients don’t take cannabis/opiates “for fun”.

                Yeah not necessarily “good”, but that’d depend on a lot of things. I’d say beer/weed prolly has a more therapeutic effect than cigarettes, but I would recognise that hitting a bong everyday, smoking, is probably less healthy than vaping nicotine (as long as the liquid are properly regulated.)

                But yeah, caffeine, beer, weed, they’re all on a similar level.

                Chugging everclear (we don’t even have that here in the Nordics, the strongest stuff is like 70% something and usually pretty expensive), being addicted to smoking crack, injecting opiates, hard addiction to meth, or even just regular prescription pills. Those can be the truly ugly ones.
