I understand intimately, my friend!

Yeah. It’s carved to be vilified, which is hypocritical not just because there are other equivalent harms we allow young people to pursue for pleasure, there are several considerably more harmful harms we allow young people to pursue for pleasure.

All because an old newspaper magnate’s paper pulp business interests were threatened by hemp and it became tradition.

You can cause severe brain damage and kill people with alcohol, tobacco, and concussions. The studies I’ve seen about Marijuana in teens handwring over <5 IQ points with chronic use.

It’s inconsistent to the extreme.

It’s not realistic or even reasonable to avoid all pleasurable activities that come with risks, which weed falls under, until an entire third of your life is over, no.

We let people under 25 play contact sports, drink alcohol, and consume large quantities of sugar, all indulgences potentially more detrimental to the body than Marijuana.

Look at all the research on contact sports and the massive risks they bring, it’s weird to me those are still legal for kids.

How is it a strawman? Even the person I replied to said it isn’t realistic to follow the letter of the overcaution.

No one’s getting out of here intact and alive.

Don’t run in front of any buses, but when hit with a statement of overcaution, I usually blurt out “you’re right, we should all sit in the corner of an empty padded room, eat saltines, and wait patiently for a safe death.”

Beyond the point of being a good student, excess intellect at this stage of civilization is more curse than blessing.

Honestly if they’re a good student and otherwise aren’t a troublemaker, I didn’t see nothing.

Until they turn 18, then pass that shit son.

I used to do this and it helped my mental state a lot. LSD refresh every 6-12 months.

If only there was a Girl who was Fit that could, I don’t know, Repack this situation, thus saving us from it…

We literally spend most of our lives fighting over fancy pieces of paper we’re deluded into valuing more than one another, talk about a waste of time.

The unexamined life is not worth living. In the US at least, we are discouraged from asking the questions that can provide us some semblance of meaning based on what we actually value during our brief existence, because considering the big questions about the nature of being distract us from collecting more fancy pieces of paper for the master’s next penis shaped space rocket.

IMHO, the ability to ask and really feel the importance of why is precisely what makes our existence more meaningful than an ant’s. Rejecting philosophical inquiry and living a life of mindless acquisition and gluttony makes one about as sapient as said ant. You’re just following someone else’s script, and that someone usually has an agenda of maximizing your productivity and consumption with that script, so your life is more their life to spend than yours to experience at that point.

I personally have pity for rank and file Republican voters.

They were simply easy marks our education system intentionally failed to teach critical thinking and reason to because obedient laborers don’t need that, and were then spoonfed sensationalist lies that appealed to their fears and anxieties, the easiest avenues for indoctrination, for the last half century under the guise of being “news” for the private profit of private shareholders and to turn them into useful idiot dependable votes for those same private shareholders to effectively capture their regulators and government that was once meant to protect us from them.

As just one in an ocean of examples, Fox “News” has been telling these poor sad bastards that “man made climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books!”

Coldest, shortest summer of the rest of our lives.

Hope all the Pop Figures were worth it.

And if this somehow fails impress you, we sold over 200 billion in tools of mass murder to the rest of the world last year alone as well!

Murica 🇺🇸, profiting off human misery since our inception, the British Empire apparently passed that torch.

Why sadly?

They get clicks, their viewers get off, everyone wins.

I always find it peculiar and proof of self-hatred that humans are so averse and judgemental about reveling in our sexuality.

It’s a major part of who we all are, whether we choose to deny that or not. Cultures and world religions always run by monied interests would prefer we spend our time miserable collecting more for their dragon hoard piles as they live in hyper-decadent debauchery, and most of us have been too fucked in the head with sexual and “don’t be laaaazy” shame to be fixable, but humanity would have been so much happier if we spent less time sacrificing ourselves to the God of economic metastasis and more time fucking, especially in an age of birth control.

We might not even have put ourselves on the express lane to self-extinction we’re currently careening down in search of more treasure for the masters.

Much like Facebook, if you participate in LinkedIn, I question your judgement.

Developing World: You stole our water and supported the installation of brutal but market friendly leadership that’s friendly to exploiting our resources and people for foreign profit! We’re desperate and dying!

Market Capitalist World: glug glug glug sorry, we couldn’t hear you over all this thirst quenching!
