This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The fact that you say "drug use" as a blanket statement proves that you don't know what you're on about. There are a lot of drugs with a lot of effects, and even most controlled substances have approved medical applications (opiates for example).

You should look at drug scheduling in the US, which mostly captures if drugs have a medical application.

On a personal note, I hope you never have to face the kind of pain that makes you consider legal or illegal drugs as an outlet.

I know many drugs are used for medical purposes, but this is normally a "lesser evil" kind of situation where drugs are prescribed under heavy control to mitigate the effects of bad diseases and terrible symptoms.

US is actually quite lax at times on their regulation in that particular sphere.

On a personal note, I reciprocate yours.
