I've never done any drugs outside of alcohol, and I didn't do that until I was 21 and I never really drank that much even when I did.
I never smoked weed as a teenager because I had heard horror stories of people spiking illegal drugs with really horrible stuff. I have no idea if those stories were true, mostly likely they were exaggerated by law enforcement, but it worked to make me too much of a coward to try it.
Because I never smoked weed, I've grown a borderline-irrational hatred of it. It always felt like when my friends in high school started getting into weed, they would become insufferable pseudo-intellectuals who thought they were very deep because they watched a few Carl Sagan or Alan Watts videos. I hated how stupid it made my friends and I hated how it seemed to ruin their ability to remember things.
It's not clear how much of this is because of the weed, or just the fact that teenage boys are often just insufferable, by the way I remember it (which doesn't mean it's accurate) is that weed made all my friends in high school into pretentious morons.
I'm kind of glad that I never got into it now. I'm insufferable and pretentious enough as it is, I don't need chemicals to help with that.
- whalesalad 2y agosounds like it would benefit you greatly tbh
- cwalv 2y agoAgreed. They wouldn't have to use so much that they suffered the negative affects to use enough to get past their borderline irrational hangups
- SomaticPirate 2y agoUnironically, the superior tone likely has done you worse than a single joint.
- tombert 2y agoNo argument here, I'm definitely judgmental on this stuff. I probably shouldn't be, hence why I said that my hatred was borderline irrational. That said, I still find potheads completely insufferable.
- theshackleford 2y ago> That said, I still find potheads completely insufferable. In all fairness, they may find you equally insufferable. And to think, you’re not even a pothead!
- tombert 2y agoProbably true. I just noticed a strong delta of before and after when my friends in high school would get into weed.
- theshackleford 2y agoI hope I didnt come off as flippant or discounting your experience. I just more meant that its likely due to the differences that led you both to where you were, that the feeling is mutual. And that neither of you would be "wrong" for potentially feeling that way. Just different streams I suppose :)
- tombert 2y agoAll good!
- hresvelgr 2y ago> It always felt like when my friends in high school started getting into weed, they would become insufferable pseudo-intellectuals My experience is that it temporarily made me and my friends blithering idiots. There seems to be a broad range of experiences.
