People drink alcohol and you don’t see someone saying “oh I’ve been so concerned seeing people talking about having a martini they must know that alcohol is addictive and can ruin their lives”. But lord forbid I say I smoke weed. Better call the priest!

Overall weed has been demonized and a lot of it is political and racially biased too.

Cue “I don’t like any addiction” in the comments - bruh it’s not about addiction. It’s that weed is treated like a scary slippery slope meanwhile the person giving you the warning is taking a shot of vodka and drinking their espresso.

Barring all comparisons to other substances- weed can be scary for the right person. I’ve struggled with weed addiction and it’s gotten in the way of the things I care about most in life. Getting diagnosed with ADHD helped me realize that I was using marijaunna to self medicate and I’ve been working with a therapist to manage my schedule and achieve happiness/productivity without it. It’s okay to have a problem and ask for help. It’s also okay to enjoy marijaunna if it works with your situation

And that’s good that you got to make that choice for your situation. But overall I feel like in general people overreact to someone saying they casually partake of weed versus someone saying they casually drink alcohol. It’s basically the overreaction I have a problem with. We’re constantly told “it’s a gateway drug” meanwhile I know plenty of weed users who don’t feel compelled to get harder drugs. Or we’re supposed to assume weed users are lazy or degenerates. It’s really been villainized.

100% Weed didn’t make me want to venture into the drug scene at all, except maybe psyches, but that was more of a separate decision. I’m actually a proponent of landrace seed preservation and the protection of cannabis rights.
