Maybe I was wrong this whole time
I just got back from a typical weekend drinking party. Not suprisingly, someboby ended up throwing up. I'm thinking that drinking alcohol may just be irresponsible. I used to be a heavy stoner but quit due to various reasons, not least of which was society's pressure to give it up and drink instead. I admit that I have been very much a beer person over the past years but now I'm thinking even that much was a bad idea. I don't want people I know to suffer because of alcohol. Marijuana, for all it's illegality and so on, is much, much safer. The lethal dose if basically unknown because it's so high. Why do we, as a society, accept alcohol and reject marijuana?
For some of you on my friends list, this is an academic question. I know some of you do not drink or smoke pot. That said, for myself, I have to ask which is an acceptable recreational drug. For some of you it's easy enough to not engage in society's pastimes. For me, who's naturally drawn to altered states, and who is not quite so strong, the question of what is the ethical choice actually is important. Ultimately, I'm not sure I can say to anyone that doing any drug is wrong (since I strongly believe in an individual's right to do as they like with their body), but I'm thinking that I will no longer promote drinking. Even if our whole society is wrong, that's just the way it is.
Why is it so easy to get wrong what you once had right?
Fuck you, society, fuck you. Go fuck yourself. I won't be your accomplice anymore.
