I mean the ideal would be not to need either and make up for it with good food, exercise, social activity etc. But if it works for you as harm reduction, I’m not gonna get in the middle of that.

That’s a straw man and you know it

That’s literally what your post is implying. Hitting a pen near u is nothing like smoking a cigarette. But ppl should be respectful and not smoke around you if it makes you uncomfortable. But as someone who literally uses it as a medicine (with the guidance of drs) this post seems a bit judgmental. Weed CAN trigger psychosis and be addictive, which ppl like to ignore, but it is helpful for a lot of people. Especially with chronic illnesses and pain.

A lot of it has to do with genetics, whether it triggers psychosis or not. Like I respect that you don’t want it near you, but you are also feeding into the stigma that makes my life very difficult. I personally like not vomiting daily and being in constant pain. And it’s really frustrating when ppl see you as an “addict”

it's a genuine question. straw manning is using a false representation of an argument to make arguing easier. i have no argument, i just don't get the point of this post

you used psychosis as the example for why somebody needs to "hit that pen somewhere else". are you like struggling with dependence or something? if so i would get that this is largely just venting but otherwise i don't understand

I’m expressing that I have a much higher level of vigilance regarding weed. It’s because there are so many fucked up things happening to people I love as a result of weed. I think people downplay the downsides of weed and don’t think that’s okay. I don’t think I’m gonna get psychosis because you hit a dab pen in my vicinity. That’s not the argument I’m making. And before you say my vigilance is unwarranted, I come from a place where they lace people’s joints with Quaaludes and low grade h.

Sorry if you weren’t setting up a straw man. Your comment just hit me like the wrong option on an SAT question, and I took that personally

Oh I see now, that makes more sense. I just misinterpreted it a bit

Also yea, 100% do not trust ANY weed bot from a regulated dispensary. They lace everything now with fent and other stuff.

Op: “the immense amount of pain this drug has caused my loved ones is indescribable and I refuse to be around anyone partaking in it.” You: “So you’re scared the drug is going to do the same thing it did to two other people? That’s stupid lmao.”

OP was saying how weed makes them uncomfortable bc of those reasons, which is completely valid and should be respected. me and #2 just misinterpreted it as OP saying second hand vape would give them psychosis. They asked a valid question to clarify what OP meant. I’m only assuming here, but I think op feels the same way about weed as I do alcohol. Like I’m VERY uncomfortable about other people drinking around me bc of reasons.

#2 asked op an idiotic question, asked if op was addicted for saying they didn’t want the drug that ruined the lives of their loved ones near them, then yall made this mf explain themselves and yall wouldn’t have misinterpreted it at all if YALL read the actual post.

That’s like me going under a persons comment saying how aba severely traumatized them and they didn’t want to be involved with it with “aba really helped ME though!! Stop painting it as harmful 😡😡!!!” It’s not about you 😭

Dude does need to chill. Things are misinterpreted online like all the time, at least clarification was made and you were respectful. Usually when ppl misinterpret they are very aggressive and won’t admit when they misinterpreted something

Yea no it’s not the same, I’m not even going to humor you. I hope you’re able to find some peace in life

I hope you don’t go around making people who’s families lives were ruined by drugs acknowledge how helpful they are, ESPECIALLY in places like this 🤨. Your lucky op’s chill, I have no idea why you and #1 would come to a place where people are regularly saying they’re suicidal and tell someone “Your loved ones got the short end of the stick, look at how much it helps me!”

it was a simple and reasonable misunderstanding and nobody besides you seems to be tripping about it - the rest of us just chatted and moved on like adults (i also forgot to reply cuz i'm moving rn). can't speak for OP but i think based on their humorous reply that it wasn't that big a deal, especially after i clarified that i was just confused
