I wish it was as simple as jealousy but it’s not. I’m not jealous that people willingly make themselves stupid and get addicted to being a useless human being. I think it’s the stupidity that gets to me, I can’t imagine giving up control over yourself like that.

Also “giving up all control” is such a stretch. I have hit the pen before work in the past and still got everything done just as well as when I’m completely sober.

This would be like saying you instantly black out anytime you have a single beer, that’s just not how it works. Any substance in excess will make you stupid

i know ppl who smoke daily & it's not necessarily giving up control over yourself. THC is actually really helpful for minimizing PTSD symptoms and pain relief. it's not inherently bad, it depends on dosage and frequency of use in addition to how the individual reacts to substances. i can understand ur frustration if they're like bragging abt it a lot & being glued to the couch constantly, but even then i don't think being angry is a rational response

not to invalidate your emotions but it shouldn't really anger you unless it's someone you really care abt and you notice it's having a negative impact on their day to day life. if so, then you should approach their situation with care and concern, not anger. But, that said, it's your choice to surround yourself with those people & if their substance use is evoking a strong emotional reaction within u i would suggest distancing yourself from them.

This isn’t about medical use and I’m sick of people using the fact that it’s starting to be used in medicine to justify their addiction. I just can’t view them as the same person if they’re high.

If you need to be on substances to have fun, you have a problem bro

Oh okay, i get where you're coming from. It's true that you shouldn't need substances to have a good time, & if you're incapable of having fun without any, that's when it becomes a problem. I sort of agree with you, but i am curious as to why it makes you look at people differently? Are you saying regardless of the amt of usage it just makes you angry, or is it the sole principal of needing it to enjoy yourself?

Yeah any amount that changes your cognisance makes me uncomfortable. Like idc if people take it to alleviate pain or symptoms (only if a medical professional approves. I don’t like self medication.) but if they need to be less conscious to go through the day that pisses me off. It’s the mild addiction that they brush off yet it impacts their life and relationships that is infuriating
