I'm not one to dis anyone's recreational kicks, but it IS only recreation, not a lifestyle!
Ehh, if yer Just talking weed, then sure - It's, imo, on-par with Alcohol: at
reasonable levels, it's not only 'recreational', but beneficial, even Medicinal, but..
Any of the 'hard-stuff' (coke / crack / meth / horse / molly / PCP / "e" / fentanyl, etc, etc) IS a 'lifestyle', because Those All take
Over your life,
near-invariably..
..And, worse, they Usually end up impinging on Other's 'lifestyles', when, ie: addict turns into a Zombie, and sells thier Body, robs / steals - from even Family - to 'get their fix', so.. To Me, that goes FAR beyond 'recreational kicks', and Well-into
Infringing onto Others Rights (the 'right' to
Not be robbed / stolen from / stabbed by some freak on meth, etc, etc..) so.. Yeah - I just Cannot see ANY 'positive angle' with Any of this "helpful" or "progressive" bull

Edit: Maybe you meant to say "..but
IF it is only recreation, not a lifestyle"?
That would make more sense coming from you.
Nonetheless, what I wrote above.. That's my story, and I'm stickin To it.
