This is impractical. It's like saying "get drunk, but don't drink and drive". Once you are high, you lose your ability to make good judgements.

- hermitdev 4y agoAs a former heavy drinker, drinking responsibly is more about planning ahead while you're sober so you don't have to rely upon your drunk self to make the right call. Going to a bar? Take a cab or walk _to_ the bar, so you don't even have a car to drive home. Or, stay in and drink at home with friends and plan on the friends staying over the night. You're right, though: put yourself in a situation where your drunk/high self needs to be responsible, and you're asking for trouble.
- bastawhiz 4y agoIf you've already lost your ability to make those kinds of judgements, you've probably already had to much. That's not a problem you can work on in the moment, but it's something to reflect on when you're sober. If you don't know what you're putting into your body, you're always making an irresponsible choice. You're trusting someone to tell you how it will affect you, how much is safe, and what the side effects will be. Plenty of women know that trusting someone to give you the substance you think you're getting can mean getting taken advantage of. Being high doesn't implicitly eliminate all of your self control. As impractical as it might be, the smallest bit of planning and caution can save your life.
