Anon is anti drugs
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
No-one wakes up and decides that they're going to get addicted to drugs today. Your life has typically been in a real shit place for a long time and it's a "fuck it" type situation.
You don't usually see happy and wealthy people getting addicted to crack.
I knew at least one kid in high school who was told that weed was as bad as heroin. Then he saw his friends doing weed and everything seemed fine. So then he did weed and everything seemed fine. Then he started asking about heroin.
this is the problem with bullshitting around prohibition. if you feel like people lied to you about weed, they could have been wrong about heroin too.

For some people, they see being addicted to drugs as an improvement on their current situation.
Life is already fucked, might as well get a buzz while I’m doing it.
Indeed. If drugs are the only thing that can make you feel good, it can feel stupid not to use them.
If your reasoning is my life is bad may as well take a short term high for long term low. Then it's no surprise your life is shit. A normal person thinks OK my life is pretty bad let's not make it worse.
I’m glad you can’t think of a life so bad.
Sounds like someone who hasn't experienced that low
It doesn't matter because it will never be a reasonable choice. You can believe that they made a reasonable choice to get addicted if that makes you feel better.
Cocaine though. Same drug, different package
Yup. Wealthy people do get addicted to drugs like cocaine, they just often have enough wealth to either still die wealthy or last long enough to get rehab.
You don't have to be depressed to use drugs, just curious and looking for more life experiences.
My experiences being around people with cocaine have been at two opposite spectrums: people with shit lives that want a release, and people with families/wealth/opportunities that want a release.
The latter experience for me was an office Christmas party. We shared an office with a law firm, and one guy with a wife, two kids, and what I'd assume is a solid six-figure salary had two keys worth, several joints, several beers, and whatever he was smoking from a pipe in the toilets.
It might not be an addiction, but it's definitely used by wealthy people. Hell, if the rumours about Musk are true, the dude is on all sorts of illegal shit all the time...
His shit isn't illegal. He has his doctor prescribe whatever high quality shit he wants. It's only illegal when YOU do it.
Nah, pretty sure there's no prescription for meth or cocaine.
There certainly is for meth (for treatment-resistant ADHD), but iirc cocaine's only medical use is during certain dental procedures, it's not something you can be prescribed to take home
Huh, I thought only other amphetamines like Adderal were available for prescription. TIL.
It is very rarely prescribed, basically only if ritalin and a high dose of Adderall both fail to help.
Or if you're rich and have a doctor who will prescribe whatever you want, presumably
What?. Explain celebrities overdosing then
not all of them are happy
