Besides denial, I guess there’s some merit to not admitting
Pot has been banned as a drug for a long-ass time, it’s still not as widely accepted as alcohol or cigarettes are
Having it be the same position as a candy bar is more of a benefit for keeping it legal than moving it to the same space as cigarettes or alcohol in a parliament that is convinced that it’s more similar to neither and closer to crack or cocaine, even if wrong
When I have pot I smoke 24/7, if I don’t have I don’t really care and can pass months before I ever think on buying again.
I just bought a weed vape, that dosen’t smell like pot and have been fabulous, I can smoke everywhere* without anyone knowing about it.

You can get that fantasy out of your head. People can smell it. I help manage a publicly available recording studio that has a strict no smoking vaping policy. Many think their vape doesn’t smell like weed.
It smells like weed dude you are lying to yourself.
Source: a lot of weed
While there certainly are exceptions, and the higher quality the smellier it will be, weed concentrates and carts have very little smell, and when it does it dissipates quickly, and doesn’t stick to you
Nah, my wife can’t stand the weed smell and she’s being very happy since I got the vape because the house isn’t smelling like weed when I use it. The flavor of the vape is “peachy nerdz”, but I can’t feel anything else that a little sweet.
Once a relative was prescribed antidepressants but decided not to get them because they figured they’d rather cope in their own way than use a potentially addictive psychoactive substance to mask their symptoms without fixing the main cause. It made perfect sense until it turned out “their own way” involved frequently drinking alcohol.
You can get my Bong when you claw it from my cold dead Hands!..
Or when you come over and we smoke together, I guess I would hand it over to you more peacefully then.
These are my oats brother
Yep, rips a bong.
That apparently makes me a chad addict
Chaddict
I mean one is a legit medication for a lot of conditions so you could just be considered medicated. The other is just addictive poison and every alcoholic knows it’s not doing them any good and slowly killing them sooo. Yeah.
Ethanol is also a medication. It’s used to treat both methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning, as well as the withdrawal symptoms from severe alcoholism (…which are able to kill a patient, unlike opiate/opioid withdrawal).
Hell, oxycodone is a medication; I got enough to kill a horse (which really isn’t saying a lot; horses are surprisingly delicate animals) after a major surgery. But guess what? It’s still addictive, and will kill you.
The fact that something might have a medical use doesn’t preclude addiction.
That is nowhere near the same thing lmao. It helps treat poisoning related to being addicted to it or after you took poison. Cannabis treats conditions that don’t have anything to do with being poisoned, pain, nausea, muscle spasms, seizures, loss of appetite, inflammation, depression etc. If you have chronic depression or seizures or muscle spasms or nausia or pain that can be treated by cannabis, it’s a chronic medication for chronic illness lmao. Alcohol is not that. Alcohol might be used in very specific use cases for short term treatments but long term use it’s just a poison. Cannabis is not poisonious, alcohol is.
How are you coming to this post and being the person the meme is about lol
Because the meme is fucking stupid and misleading. Cannabis actually does treat seizures, pain, muscle spasms and the list goes on. Go fucking give people shit for taking their antidepressants and seizure medications. It’s the same difference.
Alcohol is also used in medication
It’s also used as a treatment for methanol or antifreeze poisoning.
This is my medicine bro, I need it for my condition of not being stoned

As a daily smoker, yes.
Though I will contest that it is largely psychological, when i go on a break after a couple days of poor sleep and appetite i am back to normal.
Wait am I still on the left side
The psychological aspect is the hardest part of any addiction. Yeah withdrawal sucks, but depending on the drug it’s just like being sick.
If all it took to break an addiction was being sick for a week it wouldn’t be hard.
You sound like you’ve never experienced heroin withdrawal before. Sick is an understatement. It’s more like legs thrashing, everything hurts, you are simultaneously hungry and not hungry, puking, crying…every negative feeling wrapped into one, and the entire time you have the knowledge that one more fix would take it away instantly. That week feels like a year, and everything gets reduced to a second by second basis.
I’ll take my “being bummed I don’t have weed” psychological addiction any day.
I recommend trying to regulate it to the weekends at the very least. Maybe every other weekend, max.
Being high all the time makes everything seem horribly boring when you’re sober. It kind of just drains your experiences from your life.
(If your experience is chronic pain, well…)
And there’s the rub. I don’t want to be a wake-n-bake kind of person, but I also don’t walk fully upright until I’ve had a hit or two, and using my hands for anything requiring dexterity and/or strength means I’ll have invisible gremlins stabbing my knuckles with their tiny, invisible knives the rest of the day and night. “Microdosing” through the day allows me to get shit done when my body doesn’t want to cooperate.
Overly cropped.
That’s my name, don’t wear it out
A phrase I learned from *Bobby’s World.
One for all my distinguished “overly cropped meme” lovers. You deserve the best this year. I will bring you top quality memes I promise.
Making a good Overly Cropped is like a fine art. To crop a piece that leaves the reader wanting more is to create a story and a mystery. Great stuff.
The perfect amount of cropped is “someone comments about the crop”.
On this post I was that commenter.
Ok but where are the bananas
Obviously not here

Weed can absolutely be a crippling addiction and anyone who denies it is lying or ignorant
MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Same as religion. Certain personality types can get be crippled by anything. It doesn’t cripple everyone.
