>>509135793Weed is fine. Weed is great, even. Alcohol is on the borderline of being a hard drug, but we've evolved and lived with it for so long that most people can coexist with it. Weed is harmless. Everything else though? We use lots of chemicals. For example, when you use cough syrup for a legit cough, you are technically dosing yourself with DXM and getting high. But for most people it's simply a matter of taking medicine, and not recreational.
Drugs like cocaine and opium and meth... these are never, ever meant to be used recreationally, like alcohol, or tobacco, or cannabis.
Why does heroin exist? To soothe the pain of soldiers who have 3rd degree burns and missing limbs.
Why do meth and cocaine exist? So warriors can give every last drop of blood when defending their homeland... never sleeping, never tiring, always fighting.
These things do not exist so you can feel groovy while you masturbate to hentai.
