How are you going to spend UBI when we get it?

Why is it, Kyle, that you feel you can post over and over about your experiments with drugs and alcohol with little to no regard of people who may be having problems with sobriety? Do you think it is ok for you to outline just how you feel when you are in the depths of a xanny high when there very well may be someone who is doing everything they can to not get back on that horse?

sure but what is acceptable in modern society depends on optics. how many humans do you know live completely sober? to reiterate no alcohol caffeine and nicotine are not part of sobriety. if you wanted to go hard you could even list sugar heavy substances in there

Seems hypocritical to fault someone for posting about using class c drugs when you've allegedly dealt class a drugs

i still consider somebody who sticks to coffee "more sober" than somebody with a weed habit

yes but is that because caffeine is ritualized into productivity nowadays?

i see it as a spectrum more than a boolean

i also see somebody with a weed habit as "more sober" than somebody addicted to heroin

i mean thats part of it

another part is that weed just qualitatively is more intoxicating

is it really though? dosage has so much more to do with it imo. being overalert and anxious is just more acceptable concerning optics nowadays

Caffeine and smoking are extremely destructive to the body - claiming they aren't just because a lot of people don't want to hear it is the same as people 100 years ago claiming laudanum is fine and normal

i mean people generally just dont dose coffee to jittery/overalert/anxious levels and consider it a mistake when they do

similar with weed but weed at "not too much" levels is still more 1. mindclouding 2. euphoric 3. leads to a generally more introspective frame of mind etcetcetc

think youre too married to your own narrative

Coffee is part of our culture. Drinking is part of our culture.

That doesn't make them not harmful it just makes you socially habituated to their effects

fair

I do this all the time

i still think caffeine is less harmful than the other drugs mentioned here

Yeah probably

physically or mentally?

Is there a higher risk of heart problems in old age related to coffee use

Or mental health issues?

both

caffeine withdrawal sucks but weed withdrawal sucks worse, having experienced both

physical health seems ~unaffected in longitudinal studies, i think some even show coffee consumption is better for longevity and long term mental health

im sure some people might have adverse reactions to caffeine but i havent delved too deeply into it

if you happen to get curious and do the research yourself, @ me with it
