I’m not the kind who give a fuck about what other people usually do unless it directly affect me but I’m wondering what’s the opinion about this on Lemmy.
I don’t think of it as ‘cool’ - I just view it the same as a preference.
Alcohol, weed, shrooms, and even some party drugs like ecstasy and such, are all fine in my book as long as they’re done responsibly.
I think once you venture down the path of abuse, it’s a problem. That goes for everything in this world - moderation is key.
Heroin, meth, and all the other hard drugs are a problem because they are so incredibly addicting that it’s almost impossible for someone to use in moderation.
Neither. I don’t consider drugs being the reason someone is cool nor is it an indicator of mental issues.
I think it’s a normal thing that people do sometimes
I know my drug smoking ass is cool. 😎
Yes
People who use drugs may simply be looking for an enjoyable experience, they don’t necessarily have mental issues.
On the other hand, everyone I know who admits to using drugs is ANNOYING AS FUCK, so no I don’t think they’re cool.
But… Uncle Sam said drugs weren’t cool!
On a more serious note, my views are if it doesn’t hurt anyone else and you fully understand the implications and consequences, you should be allowed to take whatever you like.
I’m terms of mental illness, I’m leaning towards drug addiction being a result of it rather than a cause. If someone is facing depression and doesn’t have the support they need, they may turn to drugs as their only option.
As others have said, it’s too varied.
In no small part because alcohol is a drug.
Neither really.
It’s a personal choice. As long as they don’t drive or do anything stupid to others, I think they should have fun. Ii’s not cool as potential addiction is not cool, but it’s not a mental problem either as I both drink and eat junk, knowing very well neither does me any good at all.
Hope that was a decent answer
Depending on the drug (marijuana), your alcohol and junk food consumption would be objectively worse.
Edit: Apparently people lack basic comprehension.
Yeah, my bad. I went back and reread the comment you were replying too and deleted all my knee-jerk reactions based on taking your comment out of context.

EDIT: The comment above me originally implied that the other commenter was racist for using the word “marijuana”. They edited their comment to have absolutely no relevance to what my comment was about, which is fine, but they also didn’t mention that they did that, which is lame.
My original comment:
Marijuana is a commonly accepted and recognized name for cannabis. It’s the first “also known as” on the Wikipedia page for Cannabis.

Nobody said anything about combining alcohol and weed.
I said that if you compared alcohol and junk food consumption against weed consumption, you will find that alcohol and junk food (again, not in combination) are objectively worse.
I added marijuana in brackets because I didn’t want some idiot to come and argue how cocaine would be worse.
Prohibition is control.
I’ve taken drugs and didn’t really like the experience. I know some people who think they are a lot of fun. If you are taking drugs because you think it makes you cool, I think you are doing it wrong.
Noon addictive drugs are fun. Molly, LSD, etc. If you don’t do something stupid/irresponsible on them or overdo it.
For me, it totally depends on frequency of their use. Everything in moderation is fine to me (but let’s face it, have you ever known anyone to casually smoke crack once in a while? Some drugs are more dangerous than other).
I’m not the kind who give a fuck about what other people usually do unless it directly affect me but…
Yeah… I’m wondering what’s the opinion of Lemmy about this… you should read the rest of the paragraph…
Cool .
