    Disclaimer This is not a serious comment

    Started out with genuinely good advice, though. Getting your THC from edibles and vapes is MUCH less bad for your health than inhaling smoke of any kind.

    Don’t do drugs

      The tips about opioids and stimulants are also valid if you want to reduce harm while doing those kinds of drugs.

      There’s a reason rich people prefer them.

        Absolutely do not take prescription painkillers recreationally. Just don’t. You might think you have self control but that shit can very quickly and easily take over your life.

        If you are not rich the money will eventually run out and you will have to turn to street drugs. Then things get really bad and really dangerous. I have seen this first hand many times. Just don’t do it.

        There are too many great drugs out there to risk fucking around with opioids.

        Yeah but like the thing that causes addiction is poverty (or some other unmet needs or trauma) so it doesn’t really matter.

          That is absolutely not the only cause of addiction. Plenty of heroin addicts started off with opiates for a legitimate reason.

          Most drugs with a high addictive potential are that way because they’re physically addictive, meaning you experience bad physical symptoms when quitting. Many people don’t quit because those symptoms are so horrendous (and some can literally kill you)

          Also, there’s a shocking number of addicts who are only addicts because their parents drugged them as children because they didn’t want to get high alone. (My SO did youth addiction counseling).

          Poverty isn’t a cause of addiction, but addiction can easily be the cause of poverty.

      Edibles are better than vapes, too. It isn’t just water vapor and THC coming out of those things. I prefer tablets, though; when I eat a brownie, I’d rather it not taste like I just licked a lawnmower.
