They relied on marijuana to get through the day. But then days felt impossible without it.

ITT drug addicts deny their reality
Edit: yall are proving my point with your defensive responses lol. There’s a lot of distance between “we should criminalise and imprison anyone caught with pot” and “nah it’s actually totally fine and healthy to numb myself every single day with a psychoactive chemical, I am not addicted at all” lol. I didn’t make a moral judgement, it’s just a statement of fact. And don’t come at me with “medicinal” either. Of course some people find weed medicinally beneficial. Like 10% of the population are estimated to have ADHD and the vast majority of them find amphetamines amazingly helpful in symptom reduction, that doesn’t make daily amphetamine use something we should recommend to the general population lol.
Drug prohibition is a racist tool to put brown people in prison.
If people weren't so judgmental about weed maybe my grandma could have had it instead of opoids.
i wanna bet you dont have a loved one with real drug addiction otherwise you'd know better
lol. Hell yeah, @glimmer_twin@hexbear.net , you tell those pesky kids
what a rube
It's like we're back in the 80s!
Sometimes when I garden in the beginning of fall, I have a horde of deer that will spend a straight month getting shit-faced on fermented crab-apples and banging to go back into the forest when they've eaten all of them. It's a pretty huge tree and they clean out the yard pretty good to the point where they're stumbling over eachother.
If there was more, I'm convinced they'd spend more time just dining on fermented fruit and getting fucked up constantly. While human beings are not quite just deer, the only place I can think of you coming from is expecting some "societal contribution" that is being hampered by me engaging in engaging in the binge or use of intoxicants or psychoactive drugs. Otherwise, who cares what people do? Why is a "drug addict" something to stigmatize?
I think a lot of drugs should be over-the-counter but regulated. Amphetamines help with a lot more than just ADHD. I take a near-daily "psychedelic" that is just a tryptamine for migraines. A lot of people prefer marijuana and/or kratom over opiods which are prescribed to plenty of people for chronic pain relief. Why pay such large premiums, restrict access and place stigma on these when they can be regulated and controlled by the (hopefully socialist) state in production/distribution?
Further more, I don't think you realize how many people in the U.S are just straight up "dealing" with chronic pain or minor disability that use these as coping mechanisms to be exploited by capitalism. Or pain of the mind and "soul" if you will.
