Do you think people who consume drugs are cool or they have mental problems? (lemmy.world)

I'm not the kind who give a fuck about what other people usually do unless it directly affect me but I'm wondering what's the opinion about this on Lemmy.

Neither really.

It’s a personal choice. As long as they don’t drive or do anything stupid to others, I think they should have fun. Ii’s not cool as potential addiction is not cool, but it’s not a mental problem either as I both drink and eat junk, knowing very well neither does me any good at all.

Hope that was a decent answer

Depending on the drug (marijuana), your alcohol and junk food consumption would be objectively worse.

Edit: Apparently people lack basic comprehension.

Yeah, my bad. I went back and reread the comment you were replying too and deleted all my knee-jerk reactions based on taking your comment out of context.

EDIT: The comment above me originally implied that the other commenter was racist for using the word "marijuana". They edited their comment to have absolutely no relevance to what my comment was about, which is fine, but they also didn't mention that they did that, which is lame.

My original comment:

Marijuana is a commonly accepted and recognized name for cannabis. It's the first "also known as" on the Wikipedia page for Cannabis.
