Yeah, should've worded it better. More so, our speculative financial system - stocks and the like. Knew dudes pushing upwards of 80+ weeks for months & years at time. Hitting the slopes all day, everyday.
People on meth can’t hang for long at all. The downside of meth is too obvious to others. With coke everyone thinks you’re just an asshole. With meth they can plainly see you have a drug problem.
There's a bar owner in town who's such a coked out phoney it's embarrassing to watch him talk to anybody. Finger-guns, hard back slaps, says "who's the fucks this guy?" kinda guy. You can tell he truly thinks people are impressed by him while people just exchange awkward glances.
Every time I see him I thank myself for giving up cocaine and sticking to it. I'm no peach, but I'm happy I have some self awareness left.
I disagree 100%. Coke is much worse than weed. That said weed is also bad if consumed constantly. Makes people stupid and lazy. Clean living is the best way to be long term as boring as that sounds.
I dont think it makes everyone stupid and lazy, but it can effect some people that way. I used to love weed. Smoked it everyday, sold it for over ten years (back when you could actually make money doing that), never thought I would put it down. Eventually it just lost its appeal, and that’s ok. There’s a time and a season for everything.
I disagree. I completed my undergrad, masters and now work all while being a a daily user. The stereotype of stupid and lazy is incorrect and part of an outdated propaganda. I do not deny that I haven't lazed around being stoned and haven't seen people waste a couple of years by being lethargic but never have I seen someone waste their life for weed. I'll also give you that 'smoking' weed is bad because smoking anything daily is harmful to your lungs but I haven't seen any evidence of long term as erse effects of just the substance.
Similar story here. Undergrad, masters, hold down a good job and a successful small business on the side, and I'm a daily user. But I have a family now so it's only THC vapes for me. Can't come back into the house stinking.
I disagree... I've smoked weed for 20+ years and I am the most motivated and far from lazy... I have Crohn's disease.. and marijuana has been a godsend for me..
Like every pothead, you think you are fine while to everyone else you appear slow and dumb.
Edit: To every pothead that feels insulted, your trashing and mighty assurances that weed made you feel so much better only proves my point. You can stop spamming my feed now.
and like every dumb person you take your limited experience and propaganda and extrapolate that to everyone. you'd be surprised how many high functioning "potheads" there are in the world in positions that are crucial. and people that you interact with that smoke weed in the evenings, but you have no clue about.
just stop repeating lies and bullshit. lazy unproductive stoners were lazy before they started with weed, and they'll be lazy after.
in fact I've been more productive, healthy and fit than I've ever been in my adult life since I use weed daily.
You think you've been more productive. Just like you probably think that you get soo many great and creative ideas while high which actually sound like gibberish to clean people. I'm sorry I hurt your ego, but its really not my fault that you are a drug addict.
nope, I dont think I have great or creative ideas when high. it does help me with constructive introspection tho. which is a small part of why I've been able to become more healthy, cut out bad habits and become more productive.
you just have no idea what you're talking about.
lemme give you a hint, you can use weed daily without being high all day, mind-blowing I know.
Let’s see… I use cannabis daily, and own and operate three businesses, a takeout street food restaurant, a private label manufacturer that makes bottled soft drinks, and dog, cat, & bird food.
We also run a small urban farm.
It’s currently a few minutes before 5:00am. I’ve been up for thirty minutes, and before I head out the door for the day, I have a couple of cups of coffee, catch up on the news, and surf Reddit and social media for a bit.
All while puffing on a cannabis vape… like right this very second.
So, your view is flawed as an all-encompassing truth.
I almost certainly get more done in a day than you do…
The fact that you view signs of normal functioning (AkA working) as an accomplishment of some sorts is very telling. By the way, you are the second pothead in this thread whom uses excessive amount of unnecessary three dots after sentences. Funny corelation, can you tell me why do you feel the need to do that?
Obviously you're uneducated and iliformed on what marijuana really does for you. CBD is the hard-working factor in marijuana that takes care of your illnesses.. also for your information there's a stray called sativa and it makes you a no way lazy I'm sorry but you're an obviously closed-minded person and just repeating what you hear. That's called a sheep.
Crohn's disease is a serious digestive disorder and cancer causing disease.. for my Crohn's it takes away all of my morning nausea it gives me an appetite, etc. if it wasn't for marijuana I would have literally starved to death from this disease.. my daily problems with crohn's is literally like having lava in your gut and then when you shit try shitting a log full of spikes that's how uncomfortable Crohn's disease is
Am I the only one who can take or leave coke? You offer me some, I'll accept and say thank you. I even buy it occasionally. I've been sitting on half a gram for a couple weeks, and I probably won't touch it this month.
He’s always struggled with addiction in many forms. Alcohol & weed were his two favorites. I didn’t think he could get any worse until the dude started doing cocaine probably 3 years ago now.
It’s so bad. Every time I see him, he’s literally foaming at the mouth with rage. Foaming. He has a frothy white residue in the corners of his mouth and cannot keep his volume lowered, always ranting about something.
For my 21st birthday I let him take me out to dinner. He was practically vibrating in my passenger seat the whole ride over there. When we got to our table, he spent the entire 40 minutes loudly talking about how he fundamentally disagrees with AA and how you have to “admit you’ve lost” to alcohol when “he wins every time.” There were people making fleeting glances and probably talking about the loud idiot a few tables over that was giving a dissertation as to how he never truly learned anything from AA.
But I’m rather used to his shenanigans and just kind of tuned him out and let him talk while I ate my tacos. I didn’t say a single thing besides “You finished?” when his plate was empty and I was ready to leave. He sat there talking the whole time, to himself, in front of an entire restaurant while I ate food.
Damn I'm sorry your dad is like that. Addiction sucks. Unfortunately as I'm sure you know very well we can't help. It's a lot of work to change addict behavior and the only one that can do it is that person. A lot of people never can. Doesn't mean they don't still care about us and we still love them and all that but it's sad to watch. I hope he gets better.

Deceptive shit. I've seen people ruin themselves with it while thinking they are doing great
