    People that get addicted to marijuana are not remotely as fucked up as people on alcohol or hard drugs, people take the addiction a lot move serious when you turn into a violent psychotic when withdrawal kicks in.

    • Know folks who spend 500+/month on weed and then can’t afford to live. Just because they don’t go trainspotting doesn’t mean it isn’t as fucked.

        Because they are addicts with money or are they escaping bigger issues? Genuinely curious! (Not challenging you)

        Yeah, but that’s usually escapism. It’s not the weed that puts them in a bad spot. They probably need to fix other parts of their life. I know of folks who ignore health and financial responsibility to play video games too. I wouldn’t blame the video games though.

        • We agree. Only that one German kid who hates keyboards went trainspotting. People can peacefully play games into unemployment and homelessness same way they can smoke themselves into it.
