.... I hate drugs. I always have, and I always will. To me they show a weakness, that no amount of beating on the chest of "I am so dominant" can extinguish. To me it shows loss of control and far from dominant behaviour. A person who is in control of their life, their actions etc is one I can respect.
You've obviously conflated drug use and enjoyment with drug addiction.
Not to mention the fact that if you drink alcohol, or have ever used prescription drugs, you're being a huge hypocrite here.
I smoke pot for the same reason that I drink alcohol. I like the feeling it gives me. After a hard day's work, I like to get fucked up, it makes life more enjoyable. Not to mention that pot helps me with stomach/nausea issues. If I get really drunk at a party, I can't go to sleep because I will get the spins and throw up. I've also throw up in my sleep on 2 occasions. Smoking a joint prevents that. I don't have to worry about choking to death in my own vomit.
Now how can you claim that I'm "not in control" of my life, and that I'm showing weakness by ingesting intoxicating substances?? I'm not addicted to either, I'm not being irresponsible, I don't use either in excess to endanger my health, etc, etc, etc.
That's not to say everyone isn't on their own journey, but I will never, and I mean never, respect someone for drug use and it conveys weakness to me. End of story.
In other words, you can't defend that statement.
