You are going after this willful misinterpretation of someone's words really hard, aren't you? Sorry, but it does sound like anon hit close to home for you and you're being way more defensive about it than you realize.

Nope. Try again. I'm not a habitual drug user. Hell, there was a period of my life where I didn't even consume alcohol or coffee, and that period was around five and a half years.

You know what I do defend though? Other people's choices as functioning members of society and the stigma that some drugs (marijuana namely) are "worse for you" and "more dangerous" than the ones that are currently legalized.

Holy whit you couldn't make it to six years old without knocking back a swig? That is definitely a hard knock life!

lol implying implications. I don't even like alcohol boo-boo, but I drink socially (2-5 times per year depending on the company I keep).

DA
Caffeine didn't fry my brother's brain as much as weed did. A lot of people who can't function properly when they're high all the time can function with caffeine just fine. So yeah, I think weed is worse than caffeine. I look down on potheads because those I know are non-functioning wastes of space. I think alcohol is equally bad, though.

I work two full-time jobs. One is my professional career, the other is a management position for a non-profit. I smoke weed with my brother pretty much everyday. My brother works full-time, takes night classes, and also volunteers.

Plenty of people are high-functioning potheads. Plenty of people are non-functioning wastes of space without weed or alcohol.

Then consider yourselves lucky that you are among the people who don't get their brain fried by that shit but don't pretend that it's totally harmless for everyone all the time.

The only reason it's not as harmless as caffeine or alcohol, in terms of ability to cause negative impact on one's day-to-day life, is because of the legality factor. As far as straight-up physical harm associated with misuse, it's probably slightly less dangerous. No one's ever died of liver failure or had a heart attack or stroke as a direct result of smoking the demon weed, and there aren't any physical withdrawal effects associated with going cold turkey. It's possibly more psychologically addictive, but so are porn, scratch lotto tickets, and the internet. Stop pretending that one addictive substance that you're morally opposed to is scarier and more dangerous than the dozens of legal and equally addictive substances and activities that you encounter daily.

The still very high possibility that it triggers schizophrenia is totally harmless as well!

Re: Unpopular RL Opinions

Yes, some current research indicates that if you already have schizophrenia, marijuana could trigger an episode, or if you're an adolescent whose brain is still developing, it could mess with your brain chemistry. Some current research also indicates that caffeine use during adolescence can lead to anxiety disorders and decreased impulse control in adults. In other news, kids shouldn't use mood-altering substances, regardless of legality, and water is wet.

LBR marijuana is not physically addictive. It's a choice your brother makes every time he smokes. Chances are even if he decided to abstain from marijuana he'd substitute it for gaming or television to "fry" his brain.

Yeah, no, that's bullshit.
