Lets talk weed for a second.
if you're thinking of starting smoking weed, maybe your friends are all into it. maybe the cooler kids do it and you wanna fit in. whatever. let me explain something.

Weed is addictive. there, I said it. Stoners all say it's not addictive and it's not physically. But I watched it destroy my friendships in school and it goes really simple.

Weed makes things funner, true. But it has a dangerous side affect, it makes things less fun when you're not blazed and then you wanna get blazed. My friends all but lost the ability to have fun, they thought everything was bland and sucked. and the times we did have fun together, they would always bring up "this would be funner if we were all high" maybe they were right, but I was content with what we had. and the saddest part was they used to be to. I watched them pour hundreds if not thousands of dollars into the hobby over 5 years. I saw their personalities fade as weed took over. seriously, smoke weed long enough and you'll become almost identical to every other pot smoker.

Do I think people who smoke weed are dumb. no. Do I think them smoking weed is a bad decision and saps away their enjoyment, yes.

It doesn't happen to everyone, I do have a few friends, one in particular who are ideal pot smokers, respect that i'm not about that life, offer it maybe but don't press it ever. don't ask if I mind if they go smoke up, they just don't. because they actually can still have fun without it. they never say " wish I was high "

If you find yourself among friends thinking, this would be 10x better if we toked up, if you find yourself spending alot of money and smoking before school, before bed, out with friends almost everyday ect. then you do have a problem. don't even get me started on the gateway drug shit, pretend it's not all you fucking want the simple fact is. not everyone who smokes weed will do harder drugs, but 99-100% of people who do hard drugs started as stoners.

Tl; Dr: this is a copypasta thread. Post your best

"they thought everything was bland and sucked"
That is also a side effect of the horrible affliction many undergo that is otherwise known as being a teenager. Are you sure you are not conflating things?

Lets talk gaming for a second.
if you're thinking of starting gaming, maybe your friends are all into it. maybe the cooler kids do it and you wanna fit in. whatever. let me explain something.

Gaming is addictive. there, I said it. Gamers all say it's not addictive and it's not physically. But I watched it destroy my friendships in school and it goes really simple.

Gaming makes things funner, true. But it has a dangerous side affect, it makes things less fun when you're not gaming and then you wanna go play something. My friends all but lost the ability to have fun, they thought everything was bland and sucked. and the times we did have fun together, they would always bring up "it would be funner if we were playing Overwatch now" maybe they were right, but I was content with what we had. and the saddest part was they used to be to. I watched them pour hundreds if not thousands* of dollars into the hobby over 5 years. I saw their personalities fade as gaming took over. seriously, game long enough and you'll become almost identical to every other gamer.

Do I think gamers are dumb. no. Do I think them gaming is a bad decision and saps away their enjoyment of life, yes.

It doesn't happen to everyone, I do have a few friends, one in particular who are ideal gamers, respect that i'm not about that life, offer it maybe but don't press it ever. don't ask if I mind if they ignore me to play something, they just don't. because they actually can still have fun without it. they never say " wish I was at home playing"

If you find yourself among friends thinking, this would be 10x better if we were online, if you find yourself spending alot of money and playing before school, before bed, out with friends almost everyday ect. then you do have a problem. don't even get me started on the gateway games, pretend it's not all you fucking want the simple fact is. not everyone who tries Farmville will do harder games, but 99-100% of people who do hardcore games started as casuals.
