Bump for Chaney.
Is smoking cigarettes okay? Or very minor cocaine use? Or is it only the few glasses of wine that "you" enjoy that is okay.
People justify what they do, and criticize those who fall outside of that criteria.
Originally posted by @chaney3Responsible use of coffee or alcohol, not a problem. Responsible use of cocaine (or heroin)...impossible.

That's the difference.

Hypothetical:
If a millionaire mother of 2 small children does small portions of cocaine during the week, is that acceptable? Money is not a problem, and she doesn't neglect her children.
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeC3 is pointing out the hypocrisy in your position. That is what I'm applauding. If you were sharper, you might have realized this. His choices for comparison could have been better, but it's not the point. You're really not all that bright GoaD.
Thank you for your contribution Mr Burns.
You invariably embarrass yourself in most threads you contribute to, but have done so here more than usual, applauding Chaney is his misguided comparison of taking cocaine and enjoying a cup of coffee.
Just so we are clear. Responsible use of coffee or alcohol, not a problem. Responsible use of cocaine (or heroin)...impossible.

lol. For all intents and purposes, all you've done here is provide a demonstration of what C3 has been saying all along:
<<There is truth in the fact that people dismiss their own actions because they justify what they do as acceptable...People justify what they do, and criticize those who fall outside of that criteria...Everyone on this forum will claim that they drink in "moderation" and therefore alcohol is acceptable.

Drugs damage mental health. Isn't that sufficient to object to their usage? Seriously?
Originally posted by @chaney3alcohol leaves the body system in 2 to 4 days. Inhaling weed into your lungs takes 6 months to leave the body system. even after 4 months, if you are running or excersizing, deep breathing, will bring about a period of time 15 min to 30 min where you will feel high.
If a person does not have a problem with alcohol, when is it okay for them to get drunk?

The hypocrites admonish others for their choices while continuing to indulge in their own.

Alcohol is fine, weed is not?
It's interesting how when told that alcohol is a drug, nobody really cares. That drug is okay to use, but not any of the others.
