That's a clearer explanation. Certainly not how I expected you to respond, that's for sure, so thanks.

However, your first response to Komp was that he was weak because he's sent money out of his own pocket to help out other hookans.

Who are you to criticize anyone for choosing to help someone out? Especially when you have no knowledge of Komp or the people he chooses to help?

That's why I called you a fool, just for clarification.

Eh I have nothing against you. You just acted like a prick, and got treated as such.

You're high up in my book, but that doesn't mean I think i like everyting you say or do.

It's just not that black and white.

Big deal if weed is the safest drug physically. I think it's psychological effects are much greater than almost all drugs except hallucinogens.

If someone is trying to quit something that poses a threat to their life, they should quit weed for at least 6 months before picking it back up, better off for a year.

I am approaching 6 months complete sobriety. I'm finally getting to where I feel more normal. It is because of my mental illness that I can shed more light on this. You guys are less sensitive, so it's more subcounscious to you. I am like a mutant who can detect things only subliminal to normal people.

I've kicked heroin and nicotine more than once and I never stopped toking. The different stints of use were not connected, as they were at least a year apart, 3 for heroin.


Fuck you and your mom and her dog.

coffee interrupts my day way more than the bowl i may or may not smoke before bed, but you aren't preaching about that. I have a tea habit that costs about ten times as much as my cannabinoid habit.

Just because you tried using drugs, and couldn't control your use/moderate enough to enjoy responsible, doesn't mean you can paint everyone else who uses drugs with the same brush.

It's about quality of life. I enjoy using cannabinoids, at no detriment to myself. That's an odd thing to determine whether or not someone is a loser.

i shouldn't respond-but your attitude is just, blegh.

I don't, and I'll admit my bias in that I believe anyone who uses psychoactives (besides caffeine) more than 2x/month are unhappy by default.

Why shouldn't I project? Since that applies to me, it should apply to everyone if only a fraction. If someone claims they are better off using a drug, I believe they are either lying to themselves, others, or both.

I had a very similar conversation with my girlfriend. We were discussing my drug usage and how I can't control myself, so I don't use. In the same breath I was defending my friends who can use responsibly. She thought that was crazy. She said I have to believe drugs are horrible, and not good for anyone. I told her I can't be disillusioned, that doesn't help me.

Please give me your honest assessment.
Far from ALWAYS bein' a prick. I am much closer to ALWAYS being an ass, and yet somehow still occasionally come up short, so let that be your relative guide. You fall way short of the mark.

The money thing is admirable, and opinions are good. I'm sure that you do have to make shitty decisions, but I don't think that has anything to do with how you frequently choose to state your political opinions, and I guess for me that's the only real rub. Disagree, debate, argue, whatever, but drive-byes just distract and detract - and I unfortunately am easily distracted (think squirrel or goldfish).

Just having your own opinion does not a prick make. Some have to work at it. For others, like myself, it's something of a gift.

Komp, I'm sure I come off as twice the prick as you when I really try. Though tbh I haven't been on here enough to really stir the shit so meh. I guess what I'm trying to say is, your cool dood.

Understanding you are using a psychological defence mechanism doesn't mean you are somehow magically bypassing the irrationality of it.

Unless you consciously deal with your emotional issues, your sobriety won't help in creating any lasting positive changes in your life. Cultivating an air of superiority (an identity, even) through said sobriety is definitely not a step in the right direction... you're only isolating yourself and robbing yourself of potential insight from others (not just yahookans) that might actually help you.
