PSA: Remember that the internet isn't real life - Lemmy.World

Drugs aren’t the same for everyone…

Some people can do a line of coke and leave it at that. Others get a tiny taste and will do anything for the tiniest bit more.

It makes it very dangerous when people don’t understand human variation. People it doesn’t effect much or who aren’t prone to addiction will act like it’s no big deal, then some unlucky sucker who hangs out with at a club becomes an addict overnight.

I get zero pleasure from cocaine. It’s literally just a tool to keep drinking. (NB: don’t do this. It’s terrible for your heart) But for some of my friends it’s the end-all, be-all. They wanna do lines all weekend and I’m just like, “why?”
Random question but are you ADHD?

Yes, this is a me and a few of my friends in our twenties.

Turns out getting on Adderall makes you want to do coke a whole lot less and makes your mornings actually feel fine.

Also turns out that actually treating people’s issues will prevent them from self-medicating with more harmful substances.

Happy for you, mate!
