Everyone I know who's says utter garbage like this is a mega-weed-junkie who's ruined their life.

I've seen two friends lose themselves to weed, a drug that's so utterly normalized nowadays. I don't need to know what some other bullshit does to people.

You picked the wrong internet stranger to peddle your bullshit.

I'm a corporate executive. A provider. A law abiding citizen. After taking care of my family, I create jobs for other Americans and pay high wages to offshores employees. I volunteer. I'm a good neighbor.

Most of my peers and colleagues agree with my sentiment. Many of us would even credit having an open creative mind in part for our successes.

The only normalized drugs are alcohol, nicotine, and opiates. All of which KILL PEOPLE, 2 of which KILL OTHER PEOPLE (drunk driving and second hand smoke), and the other kills families and communities. They fund mega corporations, not small businesses.

You have friends that aren't successful in typical ways and you judge them. Fine. Tell me about us junkies ruining people's lives and killing people?

Now, I showed you mine. Tell me what substances you use, and your successes, and contributions to others. Or are you just a closed minded miserable cunt with nothing to offer but to tear others down for their differences from you?

Let's go, your turn.

EDIT: I too am an AMD man.

EDIT 2: I didn't need to be that aggro. I'm not triggered but I do feel strongly about my comments. I didn't need the ad hominen at you, which was reactive on my part. I own my responsibility in that but if you want to communicate with people that you disagree with, in actual good faith, for the purpose of persuading their beliefs, that requires effort. You should learn the power of language. Junky is a word with a lot of power. I've lost friends to DEATH bc of real and addictive drugs like heroin. Don't equivocate things you don't understand.
