    The same things can be said about maryjanes as well. And about alcohol. With cocaine it is just even more likely.

      Idk, it seems like a pretty big jump in addiction potential. I don’t hear of too many people going into sex work to support their alcohol and cannabis habits.

      I do support at least decriminalization of all drugs though. As long as it coincides with adequate education, harm reduction, and therapy resources.

      Yeah it’s always the same thing. “Guys, you can smoke cigarettes, but weed will fry your brains and leave you completely useless to society. Legalizing would be a disaster”.

      Yes, light and legal drugs are not okay as well. They too may cause severe health (including mental health) issues, as well as addiction.

      THC, alcohol, nicotine and even caffeine cause significant and measurable harm, and you’ll be much better off by restricting them long-term, unless you have medical indications to consume them.

      If you need any of them to relax or to have a good party or to stay productive, remember it is NOT sustainable and actively harmful and something has to be done about the way you organize your life. You can’t go on like this forever, it will get you eventually
