    Do you perchance drink coffee?

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

      Nah, never had it. I don’t have a problem with drugs or anything. Just think it’s better to use them for fun, not a coping mechanism.

        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”.

          Fair enough I guess. The original guy seems to be using weed as a coping mechanism. I don’t honestly care. If someone drinks a couple beers after work or smokes cigarettes, then good for them. Not particularly healthy, but whatever.

            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.
