I'm overweight.. I guess that means sugar destroys people's lives. Why haven't they banned sugar?

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Arrogance, social pressure, and sometimes just plain low IQ.
That is indeed a description for those that widespread demonise drug users.

To be fair to anon, they're asking sincerely if you take them at face value. A lot of people just don't know why others just fall down that rabbit hole.
Short of examining their entire lives and trying to remediate the bad experiences, there is nothing to be done other than let them burn out
Nice try DEA
Because your knowledge that certain drugs are bad is not stronger than the urge to conform. If your friends are doing it and you're the only one not doing it, you'll feel the urge to join them. Some people can resist that, a lot of people can't.
And then when they try it, it feels really fuckin good, especially the first time. So good it's life-changing, you might say.
