To straight edge people: how do you do that?

Like drugs and alcohol makes things so much easier to deal with. I have to hit the Dutch every day before work or else I will snap at everyone. I’m a short tempered person lol but when I’m high I’m so calm and friendly 😂 the same when I sneak in booze with me. I mean I do it on my days off too but I save my pills for then. Idk man it just makes life easier. I couldn’t imagine life sober again, I’m so much happier now, and I used to talk shit that I would never drink or do drugs.

I guess what I find hypocritical about this whole thing is that if someone requires prescription pills to get through life, we see nothing wrong with that. That's fine. If you take anti-depressants, good for you. But if someone does the same thing with weed, suddenly that's evil and wrong? What makes one chemical better than another? Just because a doctor gave it to you? It's still a mind-altering chemical that you rely on to get through life.

@SW-User Nothing does. If you require a medication just to live, then there's obviously a problem. I mean, yeah it's better for someone to have their antidepressants than to be suicidal all the time but it doesn't make it GOOD. It's still bad that they require an outside substance to cancel out that kind of behavior.

@BlueMetalChick I can agree with that. [i]Requiring[/i] an outside substance to live is itself a problem (i.e. it's never ideal).
