    Drugs are good.
    They make you do the things you know you not should.
    And when you take them your friends think you’re cool!

    Not directly relevant, but I’m surprised at how many people I’ve known over the years who think “correlation does not equal causation” means “correlation equals not causation”. In other words, they think correlation is somehow proof of a lack of causation. “Correlation does not necessarily mean causation” would be a better formulation of the original expression.

    It’s important to take the right drugs, if you want to get rich.

    • For example you should take marijuana edible and vapes. Don’t smoke the dried flowers directly.
    • You should take prescription painkillers. Avoid heroin and black market fentanyl.
    • Do not take Methamphetamine. Try cocaine instead.
    • Hallucinogens should help across the board

      My mom, who was very much a hippie, always told me “don’t do drugs, but if you do, do them with me so I can make sure you do them right.” Thanks for reminding me of her.

      Started out with genuinely good advice, though. Getting your THC from edibles and vapes is MUCH less bad for your health than inhaling smoke of any kind.

      Don’t do drugs

        Edibles are better than vapes, too. It isn’t just water vapor and THC coming out of those things. I prefer tablets, though; when I eat a brownie, I’d rather it not taste like I just licked a lawnmower.

        The tips about opioids and stimulants are also valid if you want to reduce harm while doing those kinds of drugs.

        There’s a reason rich people prefer them.

          Yeah but like the thing that causes addiction is poverty (or some other unmet needs or trauma) so it doesn’t really matter.

      what rich people take depends on their location, culture, politics and ideology. if you want to be a right wing american prick, try weed, ayahuasca and ketamine. the specific proportions of each are a carefully guarded family secret of each billionaire family. it’s difficult to get precise measurements without visiting them on their own (or epstein’s) private jet.

        Oh man that was a week’s worth of talking to dead relatives with a mouth full of sand.

        4/10 would do again if there’s nothing else around.

    Once had a middle school classmate declare there were more rains over mountains because rain make them grow faster. The geography teacher was not impressed.
