      They’ve been telling me weed is a gateway drug!
      Everybody’s saying it!
      Not nicotine! Not alcohol! But a plant that God made!
      It’s a trick!

        Well about plant that God made, tobacco is also a plant. And alcohol is just fermented grains/fruits/vegetables. So also are God made.

          Yeah I mean I’m all for weed and for folks to take whatever they want/need, I’ve myself recently stopped self-medicating with the aforementioned two and it’s going terribly, got my first visit to the therapist tomorrow and we’ll see if I pick it back up or not after that, but plants can be strong AF, go take some datura or belladone then come and tell me again how “it’s just a plant” haha.

            Yeah.

            I don’t consume any of the above (except alcohol occasionally, but even that’s rare), was just making fun that weed was somehow special.

          Yeah I really hate the “chemical vs. natural” pseudo-debate surrounding drugs.

          EVERYTHING is chemicals, and natural doesn’t automatically mean good or healthy. Lots of very dangerous things are natural.
