What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be? - Lemmy.World

For me it’s driving while under the influence. If you couldn’t tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can’t fathom. I’ve only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

I am a psychonaut. I am someone who explores myself and the world around me through the use of perception altering drugs in order to give me perspectives I wouldn’t be able to achieve otherwise. Cannabis is one of those drugs and has genuinely helped me in treating my depression and anxiety, as well as connecting with other people. Additionally, it has given me a lot of cannabis related skills and knowledge which helps a lot when you live in a legal city where the weed is often stronger than a lot of people can handle. Through the use of weed I have helped many friends and myself discover things about themselves and their situations that would be difficult otherwise. I’ve made great friends and lost important relationships because of drugs, but yes it is a hobby even if you do not consider it one.
