    As a consumer of both, I believe the people that think pot is a personality and vomit pseudoscience really do a disservice to all the other regular folks who also use cannabis. Not that alchohol doesn’t have comparable types (“I can’t drink so much without feeling it!”), it has just been socially acceptable for a longer period of time.

      I fucking hate that type and when they stink up a whole fucking grocery store from the other side of the building. Theyre just as bad as alcoholics.

        Yeah but those people are just fucking idiots destroying their lungs in a hotbox. IIRC, it doesn’t get you any higher. THC doesn’t stay active in smoke for that long.

          Not just lungs, but brain too. From my understanding the reason you “feel higher” is literally just because you get less oxygen since the room is filled with second hand smoke. Big brain moves lol

            Yeah, thats why I get so stoned in fesh air eating a brownie… bruh…

            I missunderstood what you wrote.

            I never did a hotbox so Idk if it makes you higher. Maybe you are right. But I dont really think this impacts your brain because of less oxygen.

              I can confirm, using the power of science, that THC does not stay in its psychoactive state below a certain temperature. The only way it can is if it binds to something, typically some kind of fat. That’s why an edible can get you high days after it was made.

              Basically, weed might stink a little more than tobacco but not by much. The only reason you smell someone that stinks of weed is the same reason you smell someone that stinks of cigarettes: they sat in the smoke and it stuck to them.

              Having been a stoner for years, I’ve never once had someone comment on the smell. Sure, I suppose it’s possible that literally everyone I know and have potentially interacted with on an olfactory level was just being polite but… I doubt it.

          Had a friend that just posted instagram videos of him smoking pot every 15 minutes. Also the guy that asked for my help to tour apartments amd after touring one he asked me to cosign for him.

            An idiot being an idiot is an idiot being an idiot, I’m willing to bet you do something in your day to day life that I could easily stigmatize just as easily.

      As a comsumer of none, you all look like junkies to me (including the cigarette/vape and coffee people). 🙃

          Never in my life has someone been impressed by that. They always just feel personally attacked, for no good reason.

            Maybe the reason here is that you implied that anyone with habits you personally consider to be undesirable are junkies?

              Well, I was hoping that indicating the unseriousness of my message with the “🙃” emoji would suffice to make even people, who deem “junkie” an insult, realize that it was at most said tongue-in-cheek.

              And I do not consider these habits undesirable in other people, obviously so long as no one is brought in danger by drunk driving or such. They just don’t align with my own personal vision for my own life.

              If I need to write any more legalese to justify a stupid one-liner, I will lose my fucking mind. We’re literally in a community for jokes.

                Hey, you don’t have to do anything. Just don’t be surprised if people call you out for condescending language.

    Idk. I work with a both bunch of sad old drunks and several stoners. The old drunks are in way way worse shape than the old stoners. They can look down like that all the want but their sad old ladies are behind them crying for sure.
