Alcoholics when you tell them you quit alcohol:
>Great for you man, well done. Im happy for you and Im glad you managed to quit it
Nic smokers when you tell them you quit:
>"Oh, great to hear it, how did you do it? lol"
Stoners when you tell them you quit
>"W-why? Weed is not even bad for you bro, I guess it just wasnt meant for y... uh? What do you mean you been a daily smoker for 4 years and just had a panic attack followed by a semi psychotic episode? You probably just bought the wrong stash thats all. Weed aint even addictive DUUUUUDE. You acting like a grumpy conservative rn, fucking fascist, stop trying to have it bann... uh?? You dont want to ban it? Then why are you talking shit about it? Weed is just a plant bro, its NATURAL therefore is le perfect substance with no bad side effects on the long term whatsoever , it just makes you hungry, thats all. I smoke pot every single day during the past x years and Im fine. I can quit whenever I want. Im actually very productive and active, and Im also full of dreams and ambition"

Why are so many stoners like this?
It seems like any minor criticism or study pointing out the negative effects of daily marijuana use is enough to completely set them off. They seeth and react more aggressively than users of LITERALLY any other substance. It's like they can't tolerate even the slightest challenge to their beliefs that weed is perfect.

(Jannies, this post is very political and important. Weed keeps getting more popular, but people don’t seem to understand the risks, especially nowadays, with insanely high-THC extracts being made and sold like it’s nothing, please keep this thread on the catalog)
