        Life is so fucking grim and full of misery and there’s barely anything to help people cope but weed is the hill you die on.

          I don’t like it, I’m fine with people who do though. Drugs aren’t for me :)

            @Retirix_YT @ilikekeyboards If that’s truly how you feel, you shouldn’t say you think it doesn’t rock. That expresses disapproval, even if you don’t mean it to.

            what you just said about weed is what religious extremists say about being gay - a much more harmful take than being anti-weed, imo. Just using this as an example to illuminate why your OG comment connotes greater judgment / hostility to people who smoke weed.

            If it doesn’t rock for you then say that not that it doesn’t rock ya see?

                  I meant to say ‘say’ not see. Sorry if what I said offended you in some way (not being sarcastic)

                  I personally just hate drugs, I don’t like how they make me feel not in control of myself and I don’t like not being in control.

                    @Retirix_YT Totally reasonable. not offended at all if anything I felt my reaction was unreasonable, is why I deleted :)

                    I thought I read more judgment of others in your comment(s) than I’m reading now. Totally fair to personally not partake and express that!

            What about caffeine? People act like “drugs are bad” is a reasonable stance, but they mean illegal drugs which just happen to be illegal, usually without good reason. Most adults are drug addicts, it’s just that the drug of choice is caffeine and they don’t see it as an issue because it’s legal and been normalized.

            Animals have been doing drugs for longer than humans have existed. There are many benificial drugs that can help us with manually regulating bodily activity. Used responsibly, drugs can be great.

              Caffeine is just a mild stimulant though. Doesn’t have the same affects

              Same with medicinal drugs too. They’re fine
