  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.

      More commonly it’s addiction that causes poverty. Drugs are expensive. And an addiction doesn’t make it easier to keep a job.

  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.

    I actually like the taste of weed and chocolate. Am I weird?

      Nothing wrong with being weird.

      I think weed is fucking delicious. I’d buy “virgin” edibles with nothing but terpenes if someone made them.
