Personally I do avoid illegal drugs, and many legal ones such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, etc. so I don't think it is really fair to assume hypocrisy on makeset's part here.

That being said, I did find their comment to come off a bit arrogant, and dismissive. If you do choose to live a lifestyle where you do not use these substances, like I and many others do, that is okay. But it's not okay to try and push this view on others. In turn, those who do use such substances shouldn't try and push their view on those that don't. Live and let live.

Events took for the worse, by introducing alcohol as the new "norm", we accepted "norm" as something horrible.

Then We put nam "drugs" as something way way worse than alcohol.

You don't need to use any of these, but this is the perfectly engineered view.

You can see this pattern in human behaviour, easily manipulative behaviour. Shopping culture, money spending, corporations, laws, this is like big fractal blooming same thing.

Still, it is interesting, seeing it all expressed and experiencing it, ever changing.

Have a nice day!

I'm not trying to push my views on anyone. But people who avoid all mind altering drugs (legal or otherwise) are very few and far between.
