Once a relative was prescribed antidepressants but decided not to get them because they figured they'd rather cope in their own way than use a potentially addictive psychoactive substance to mask their symptoms without fixing the main cause. It made perfect sense until it turned out "their own way" involved frequently drinking alcohol.
I mean one is a legit medication for a lot of conditions so you could just be considered medicated. The other is just addictive poison and every alcoholic knows it's not doing them any good and slowly killing them sooo. Yeah.
Because the meme is fucking stupid and misleading. Cannabis actually does treat seizures, pain, muscle spasms and the list goes on. Go fucking give people shit for taking their antidepressants and seizure medications. It's the same difference.
While there certainly are exceptions, and the higher quality the smellier it will be, weed concentrates and carts have very little smell, and when it does it dissipates quickly, and doesn’t stick to you
Nah, my wife can't stand the weed smell and she's being very happy since I got the vape because the house isn't smelling like weed when I use it. The flavor of the vape is "peachy nerdz", but I can't feel anything else that a little sweet.
I can smoke everywhere* without anyone knowing about it
You can get that fantasy out of your head. People can smell it. I help manage a publicly available recording studio that has a strict no smoking vaping policy. Many think their vape doesn't smell like weed.
Besides denial, I guess there's some merit to not admitting
Pot has been banned as a drug for a long-ass time, it's still not as widely accepted as alcohol or cigarettes are
Having it be the same position as a candy bar is more of a benefit for keeping it legal than moving it to the same space as cigarettes or alcohol in a parliament that is convinced that it's more similar to neither and closer to crack or cocaine, even if wrong
