I'd rather be in a community with chronic weed smokers than alcoholics. A severe weed habit has it's faults, but pales in comparison to alcoholism.

Who’d want a society sitting on the couch eating a pizza and playing video games when you could have violent fighting everywhere?

The irony of it all

I‘ve seen a german documentary about alcohol and the alcohol industry. If you want to be disgusted, give it a watch. Its on ard mediathek (pretty sure it has subtitles as well) https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/Y3JpZDovL3JiYl8yZjZkMWYwZS1mZWJmLTQ4MWQtODIzYy00NGJkZmYwMzRjN2RfcHVibGljYXRpb24

My personal favorite was heineken hiring hookers to fuck people in south afrika for buying their beer.

100%. I'm from the UK and the drinking culture here is ridiculous. People don't just drink, they get wasted. My best friend died from alcohol abuse at 34.

There are people at my company who are very obviously alcoholics and spend the workday hungover or still drunk a lot of the time stinking of booze and that's totally fine apparently. But if I smoked weed at the weekend like I used to and came into work totally sober I'd test positive, get fired immediately, completely fuck my career prospects and very likely get a visit from the police trying to bust me. It is bullshit.
