Nor do I, for goodness' sake! Just leave me be!

I spend my days surrounded by friends who light up a cigarette literally every single day, whereas I personally manage to limit myself to maybe three times a month—and I’ve maintained that exact same rhythm for years now. So, please, spare me the lecture; if you possess enough mental fortitude to resist temptation, then no addiction is ever going to take hold of you...

Nicole Allen10 said:Smoking every single day isn't doing you any favors, and honestly, using it as an excuse for why you can "handle" things is just a weak argument. It’s like people claiming that if they can hold their liquor without falling over, they aren't alcoholics. Give me a break. Not every alcoholic is some aggressive wreck like the media loves to portray, either. Anyway, sorry, I'm going a bit off on a tangent here.

I am well aware that not every alcoholic is violent; my own father struggled with addiction, and he was a truly kind and noble man.

I have never been the type of person to smoke tobacco or anything else on a daily basis. There are these occasional stretches—mostly during the summer months—where I might indulge for two or three days straight, only to go another two or three months without touching it at all. It isn't that I suffer from some overwhelming, constant craving; rather, the temptation only ever arises when I find myself out in social circles where everyone happens to be lighting up weed and I feel the urge to join in.

(Having witnessed far too many people absolutely wrecked by marijuana or pills, I find that my desire for heavy consumption vanishes the moment I see them.)

It is a common fallacy to assume that raw intelligence is synonymous with wisdom, yet one can certainly possess a brilliant mind while remaining utterly devoid of any actual insight or judgment!

You're basically a walking case study on how smoking weed can actually tank your IQ.

I consider myself to possess an above-average intellect—and please, I am not boasting, merely establishing a foundational fact necessary for this discussion—but if one possesses any actual experience with substances, or has ever bothered to investigate how narcotics affect the human psyche, one would realize that the impact is far from universal. When people make those sweeping, superficial claims about how a certain film or a specific substance "hit" them, they miss the nuance entirely. It is an empirical reality that for some individuals, even harder substances have a muted effect, and they seem to tolerate them, much like their tolerance for alcohol, with a disconcerting ease. Conversely, for others, drugs don't serve as an escape at all; instead, they act as a brutal amplifier, merely intensifying the pre-existing internal chaos—be it anxiety or mania—rather than providing the sanctuary of oblivion they were seeking.

Back then, I couldn't have given a damn about any of that nonsense, and as far as intoxicants are concerned, I wouldn't dream of touching anything other than weed...

Out of those three options, marijuana was the only thing that provided even a modicum of relief, offering a slight sense of calm and mental clarity; however, let’s be honest—when you are reaching that level of sheer, unadulterated tension where absolutely everything grates on your nerves and your anxiety is redlining, all those supplements and pills are nothing more than expensive garbage.

I have personally navigated the trifecta of antidepressants, alcohol, and marijuana all at once, and frankly, I felt perfectly fine; my tolerance levels are such that neither the cannabis nor the medication ever seemed to make a significant dent in my baseline state, given my specific constitution, so I find it highly improbable that these vitamins would cause you any meaningful harm, lol
