This is kinda unironically me. I do occasionally drink, but the drawbacks of drinking are far worse than the drawbacks of weed, so I prefer weed!

[–] SlacksMcTavish@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 weeks ago

You are very correct

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Gawd I love drinking but I can’t do it anymore cuz very specific things (used to drink 10+ drinks every night for almost half a decade and tbh it was the best thing ever aside from the weight gain and the fact that if I kept going it would kill me) so now I’m just into some drugs I like.

It’s been ages since my last drink and I’m VERY lucky, I went from years of ultra heavy drinking to nothing cold turkey (in a controlled setting, no anti-seizure meds or benzos either) and no seizures, no withdrawals, no DTs. Just crazy bad sleep for a few weeks and then 6-8+ hours a night every night after about a month. Since I stopped drinking, I’ve lost almost 20% of my total weight, and I’m eating way more than I used to. Turns out it’s a sick diet cutting out 2,000+cal of booze every day, you can eat as much as you physically can and you’ll still lose weight even sitting around all day and working a sedentary job, never exercising.

I wish I liked THC more, but it depends on the day. Sometimes it’s nice! It’s just about time for my tri-annual heroic dose of X, though. It’s been more than a year and that’s unacceptable.

Weed is great. Psychadelics are great. Benzos are great gor not existing but not fun. Cocaine makes you an asshole. Opium derived stuff makes you boring. Meth makes you annoying. Alcohol gives you a kinda okay buzz while physically and intellectually incapacitating you and ruining tomorrow.

[–] fleem@piefed.zeromedia.vip 3 points 2 weeks ago

we'd! especially if we were neighbors

[–] zerobot@lemmy.wtf 40 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

it feels so weird once you start looking at alcohol just as another drug, how many people have it as their drug of choice and that it is so normalized while most other drugs would be a taboo in most societies

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

the only reason alcohol isn't banned is because it is trivial to make

nutrients humans need + certain life forms that rot things

not able to be restricted

if banned, people would make their own crappy alcohol which would likely be more harmful

(I don't support drug bans, war on drugs did not work, the government should just make getting rid of addiction easy by providing proper healthcare (Portugal does this I've heard))

[–] zerobot@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

i mean meth is pretty trivial to make, dmt is trivial to make, not to speak about mushrooms, weed, etc, maybe that's why they are still around actually haha, not saying you are wrong but there is more to it, probably

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I can buy everything I need to make alcohol in the baking aisle at any supermarket. It won't be very good, but it would be booze.

Can you imagine if Breaking Bad was about alcohol and not meth, it would just be The Bear, basically. But a brewery.

[–] tutter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

The culture of drinking goes way further back than any other probably. Jesus drank wine. Meth is relatively new. So i think it's the combo of being easily manufactured, and the tradition and cultural relevance of the substance as well.

It'd be like trying to ban wheat-farming or something

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Many naturally occurring drugs are as easy or easier to make, weed (dry + burn), coca (literally just chew the leaves), shrooms (grow + dry). But the argument holds for those as well. People literally produce their own (or buy from someone else who produced it illegally) stuff which might be contaminated, just because the government wont make it legally available.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Also caffeine - we let our kids take a stimulant drug just for fun, hidden in their food! No restrictions. It can kill you, sure. Very gruesome overdoses. But have fun! Have a Mt. Dew! Go crazy! It's just a drug!

But all other drugs are bad.

Aka Burner Sober

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (5 children)

The late 90s/early 00s version was "I'm straightedge except for weed and shrooms. Those are natural."

^Don't come at me, I know alcohol and tobacco and cocaine are naturally occurring also.^

[–] restingOface@quokk.au 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Heroin is just a plant, bro

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

Add it to the list!

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

California sober!

[–] MoffKalast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And asbestos, don't forget asbestos.

[–] HurricaneLiz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

In 1999 at a school I went to I saw a kid snort asbestos from a wall. Hope his lungs held out over the years.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Tbh, cocaine has to be heavily processed from coca leaves for it to do what it does (you can have a coca leave tea and get an energy boost at most, lol, but it's nice!). Shrooms and weed just need to be dried. 🤷

[–] NotANumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

I would love one day to try coca leaves and coca tea. Sounds much healthier than processed cocaine.

[–] icanbrewmushrooms@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Shroom's don't even need to be dried. In fact, fresh shrooms are more potent - they just don't store very well and are less pleasant to chew.

TIL, but I think I'm too old to put into practice, haha.

Here in Colorado we call that "Cali Sober"

[–] KnitWit@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

This, but unironically.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

No booze for me! Just my 12 step program, fresh air, clean water, the grace of a loving God, and a twenty of fenty

[–] Mudman@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

Alc kills the high

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Drugs are healthier than alcohol change my mind, actually don't some drugs are fucked up an some drugs are healthier than alcohol just doesn't hit as hard.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Completely depends on which drug and the quantity it's taken in.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Also the personality and self-control of the person taking it. Like are they the type to say, "no thanks, I only do coke on special occasions" or the type to say "wow, that line felt amazing, I'd like to feel that way all the time!" Because that can throw out all former plans regarding quantity.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I would argue it also applies to alcohol if I was arguing, which I am not.

[–] BygoneNeutrino@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The addictiveness of a drug is actually a quantifiable metric. In the early 20th century, scientists exposed hundreds of drug naive individuals to different psychoactive compounds. Although there are individual differences, something like half of the people exposed to intravenous heroin and methamphetamine would actively seek out the next hit.

[–] renzhexiangjiao@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

remember kids, don't mix drugs and alcohol

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Aww, come on, just this once as a treat???

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

smoking my joint and sipping my beer no

[Real talk though, know your substance, use test kits, and know contraindications to avoid. Be safe y'all]

"...just illegal drugs for me, thanks!"

I love when drugs are the solution

Drugs are better than mugs.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

The older I get the fewer drugs I enjoy. Alcohol used to be my last choice, now it's my default.
