I'm going to agree with the other commenter and say that I think you've missed the point of the meme. People will absolutely treat you as lesser for using cannabis because it's a "drug", while also themselves using drugs both recreational and otherwise. I've gotten strife from folks that take prescription opiates for using medicinal cannabis, as if I'm faking it. That doesn't mean that I think lesser of them for taking their needed medications. Though it is really interesting how doctor's actually think lesser of those on opiates. Ya know, because those doctors are garbage.
Also, as someone with ADHD, I'm going to be a little pedantic for a second. ADHD itself isn't a disability, it's the psychosocial conditions it causes that is the disability. For example, when someone has a leg amputated we don't call the condition that caused it the disability, we call the lack of a leg the disability.
Quite possibly. Likely my interpretation is heavily biased by having resided in places where cannabis has been legal for a long time and take the medicinal uses as a given.
Yup. Judgement like that does nothing to help a patient.
I also have ADHD. I don't disagree with this assessment. Yes, saying that it is a disability is an oversimplification. It is indeed (primarily) the need to function in a society that does not usually even attempt to allow space for non-neurotypical people that causes it to be able to be so debilitating at times.
I mean, it is absolutely a disabling condition but it's just, within disability advocacy we generally talk about what the functional impact is as the disability, not the condition that caused it. So, with ADHD you have functional impacts like being unable to complete a task because of a mental block. When those tasks are ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) like feeding oneself, drinking water, going to the bathroom, even stuff like booking a doctor's appt for prescription repeats, that itself is the disability that ADHD is causing. Psychosocial disability is just the umbrella term for those collective difficulties around completing ADLs due to psychological conditions, such as ADHD, Autism, Bipolar, etc, and yes also the way those react with society as a whole but also like, every one's gotta eat, ya know?
Anyway, like I said it's just a little nitpick. It's similar, but the opposite to people saying that being in a wheelchair is a disability and it's like no, it's a mobility disability that causes a need to use the wheelchair.
And thank you for that "nitpick". Despite previously being on roughly the same page, I learned a bit in terminology that I was not aware of that helps to better describe things.
