I wil do any drug as long as it's not alcohol or opioids. I'm big on weed, Kratom, kpins, amphetamines, RC benzos and RC dissociatives

    Hard to rank something like that out of 10 tbh. I'd go with maybe a 6-7? The world is in an ongoing systemic collapse, COVID's still around, I have various health problems, and the most powerful military state in the world (which I live in) is trundling down the path to fascism, so I'd say I have a considerable amount of anxiety about things like that. Generally speaking, though, I'd describe my condition as "comfortable". I have a job (which makes the world better and would continue to exist under communism) that pays enough that I'm not living paycheck to paycheck (for now...), but it also leaves me tired most of the time. I only have a small group of friends, but I can reliably do stuff with people on my days off. The ideal version of my life in my head is basically identical to what I'm doing now, just with the things that are out of my control removed.

      That's great to hear, I'm happy for you cat-trans

      If you ever get the urge, don't do drugs just for recreation. Not even weed, never trust the stoners. Those guys are the worst when it comes to being self aware about their drug addiction

          Yeah right? I would never engage in addictive behaviors like those crackhead, now let me buy some scratch tickets, maybe I'll go to the horse races (or smoke a joint or two)

        Why the fuck would I smoke weed/drink alcohol if not for recreation? Maybe I misunderstood your point but "don't do drugs just for recreation" seems hopelessly draconian to me.

        Do drugs for recreation if you want to, but understand how they work, how addiction works and always enjoy them only in moderation seems to the sane take to me

            I guess we misunderstood each other, then, because "smoking to cope with mental pain" is a kind of recreational use (as I understand that term, at least). If you mean using it to treat the symptoms of a specific mental issue, then I would call that self-medication, rather than recreational use.
