  • people who see drug use as the same whether it be meth or weed.

    But they are correct about this part, there is no ethical or moral difference between using amphetamines and using cannabis.

    And they don’t see beer the same way usually.

    Well, they’re incorrect about that part. But I’m not going to change the way I talk just because other people are wrong. Think about it: I’d never stop changing the way I talk.

    But we’re having a conversation about perception here.

    Absolutely.

    I worked as a chemical dependency counselor for years with all types of addicts. To me, alcohol is scarier than all of them. Quitting drugs is never fun or easy, but alcohol withdrawal will kill you straight up. One cannot quit cold turkey. In my opinion, alcohol is the hardest drug yet invented, it just also happens to be more socially acceptable than the other ones. Challenging this perception is something I care about quite a bit.
