All he said was that the smoke alarm going off while you’re high might be disturbing to that person; so, they take out the battery and forget to put it back in because weed messes with your short term memory. What’s condescending about that? All he did is speculate and he’s not that far off from reality! For the record many people have died because they fell asleep with a lit cigarette (probably because they’re likely drunk or just very tired) in their hand which then causes a fire. Stupid ass comment!

> All he said was that the smoke alarm going off while you’re high might be disturbing to that person No he didnt, he made fun of people who smoke cannabis for being stupid and more likely to kill themselves in an idiotic way. I would have happily engaged in an intelligent comment talking about the dangers of smoking in bed, or even statistics about how smokers are moere likely to die aslepp in fires, but his comment was definitely not these things. >All he did is speculate and he’s not that far off from reality! This comment just shows you have the same condesceding viewpoint, which explains why you are agreeing with him. He is in fact very very far from reality, and if you had an open mind and explored this with other people with different viewpoints from yourself you would realise that pretty quickly.

  If you’re so inclined to engage in intelligent conversation then your first reaction should’ve been to look up those stats yourself and counter with that. The burden of proof is not on him because he clearly prefaced the comment by saying “I’m thinking” which means he’s expressing his own opinion which may or may not be different from facts you can get by analyzing data.

    That is fair enough, I agree with you. However I felt that in this instance the OP was poking fun at stereotypes, and that countering it with statistics was the wrong thing to do. However OP has now apologised and I have done the same. Next time I will consider your words, and respond a bit more intelligently. Have a great day!
