Got back from family vacation, got on the dreaded Facebook, found out the woman who was my first gf 12 years ago, and subsequently a friend I talked to pretty frequently, had died of liver failure at 33 years old.

Looking back on it, when she was drinking 12 years ago it just seemed like a fun time. I didn't know she sustained that pace for a decade plus. Some other things took a toll too, like an eating disorder.

Anyways, I am fuckin sad, fuck alcohol, it's as bad as heroin but capitalism gotta make that $$$$$

i am unironically a prohibitionist when it comes to alcohol, the muslims were right. though we should treat it like a medical issue rather than a criminal one, like we should with any drug problems. it should at least be illegal to advertise alcohol or give it fun packaging, like they do with cigarettes in some places.

never ever giving up weed tho, maybe i'll switch to vapes and edibles instead of smoking eventually but its more expensive that way.

Prohibition was a disaster in the US tho. You can't even stop people from fermenting sugar in prison.

i switched from smoking to edibles after 18 years of smoking. I was coughing up black shit for months and now im good on that.

Check out vaporents on reddit, there's tons of flower vapes that get you the same high off less weed since they're more efficient. The terpcicle from trww is an all glass vape for around 40, just need a decent torch
