    Potheads and addicts? Holy shit, is it still 1990 and you’ve got some weird fucking prejudice against how other people choose to spend their time or how they medicate themselves? Oh boy…

    Just like I know the type of responses I’m gonna get

    You invite the circus when you put the clown mask on.

      I dont care what you do in your own home.

      But potheads, like vegans, cant just contain it to their own home and shut up about it. They gotta make sure everyone, everywhere, in every fucking conversation, knows about what they do.

      And for the longest time, they all tried to hide behind pot being the magical medicine that cured all woes, and now we have science actually isolating beneficial components without hte high, and the overwhelming response is “NO, I DONT WANT THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS, I WANT THE HIGH”, which is exactly what addicts would say.

        You are shadowboxing lol. I see orders of magnitude more people complaining about vegans with little to no prompting than I see any vegans saying they are vegan.

        What kind of naïve person makes grandiose claims of others, while also unfairly aggregating them to the grouping of your own subjective, unflattering, and inaccurate images of them? You’re basically inventing these people, potheads and vegan, to make a dumb point about how some people like to talk about their personal choices a lot. Whoopty doo, you dweeb.

        You know what’s funny? Aside from the fact that I’m mentioning it now, I consume a grotesque volume of cannabis. Truly grotesque, I promise more than whatever you’re thinking. I don’t bring it up, though, ever. Why? Because I’m an actual human being, as opposed to whatever fantasy you’ve got going on up there.

        And for the longest time, they all tried to hide behind pot being the magical medicine that cured all woes, and now we have science actually isolating beneficial components without hte high, and the overwhelming response is “NO, I DONT WANT THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS, I WANT THE HIGH”, which is exactly what addicts would say.

        No it’s not. Please, for the love of god, do good research and get that stuff. That’s great for children, people who don’t want to be high, and people who can’t be high (e.g., on the clock) but still need the medicine.

        I still want to get high, though. There’s nothing wrong with that. The issue is with you, if you have a problem with that.

        You are the one who brought up vegens in a conversation about pot. But sure, keep telling that yourself.

          If you’re going to go for the personal attack, could you at least be entertaining with it? This is something a 14 year old would regurgitate 30 years ago.

            Oh sorry, I thought I’d try for something a moron would understand. I didn’t want to use too many big words and confuse you.

              Next time try lowering the bar to something a moron can actually produce instead of worrying about other people 👍

                So you want me to reduce my not-so-complex insult to something a moron would produce so you can think you’re winning an arguing with a moron?

                Fuck, you’re smart hey.
