Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?

    I don’t like being recreationally high. I have tried several times. I’ll take cannabis to help me sleep when I have insomnia, so it’s not just being anti-drug, I just don’t like it. My son in law thinks weed is the greatest thing in the world. Sometimes I do it with him just to be social.

    The last time I partook, I sat in a chair for the entirety of a documentary about that sub implosion trying to decide if I needed to go throw up and whether I could make it without bouncing off walls and possibly the floor. By the end, I barely managed to take my ass to the guest room and fall asleep.

    On the other hand, alcohol helps me cope with social anxiety.

      Yes, I’ve noticed the instant justification is a common response, too.

      I’m glad the drugs help you, friend.


      Ah I apologise, that was a snarky response. I’d just woken of and I was a bit cranky.

        To be honest I had no idea what your response even meant so I could not take offense. :) I was mostly just supporting that not enjoying an altered state of mind is perfectly valid, but maybe that’s not how my response came across.

        Anyway, have a good day!
