tl;dr - cannabis is an important pillar of my life. the same is true for many millions of other people. and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

it hit me while masturbating in the shower, i’m never going to be completely sober. i need drugs to function as a member of society. and that’s alright with me.

i also know, more importantly, that there are millions of other people like me all over the planet. most of us just hide to survive.

edit:

i only smoke concentrated cannabis. sativa strains preferably.

i don’t consume any other drugs. i used to. but not anymore.

i used to regularly consume alcohol, caffeine, LSD, MDMA, shrooms, cocaine and salvia divinorum. nothing like the DMT and designer psychedelics of today.

i feel fortunate to have lived through my own experience of drug culture and walked out the other side.

    If you count coffee, tea and energy drinks as a drug, then there are a lot of people like this.

      D.A.R.E. taught me that shampoo was a drug.

      I stopped caring about being labeled as a ‘drug addict’ after learning that if that applies to everyone who regularly showers.

          It’s because it’s a chemical that physically alters your body.

          The entire class said it wasn’t a drug and got into an argument with the cop. We all knew that even if you label it “a drug”, it’s not like the actual drugs we’re talking about. No one is out there abusing shampoo.

          It’s really no wonder that taking a D.A.R.E. class increases your likelihood of using drugs in adulthood.

          Not sarcasm, unfortunately. I remember it as clearly as the marker and eraser… I mean “marker-juana” and “eraser-beer” we used to practice saying no to.

            How‽ Also it amazes me that they thought peer pressuring kids into practicing saying no will ensure they’re resistant to peer pressure.
