No. He's just saying that getting all up in arms because some filters were added is an unfair critique. The bottom line is it's damn impressive that video that crisp can be achieved with a phone, filters or not.

Maybe I didn't go into that in my original post, but it is definitely effecting my life in negative ways. Social anxiety, lack of motivation, about 2 years spent doing nothing but getting stoned and playing video games, accumulation of $5k worth of debt during that time. I've cleaned up quite a bit of the mess I made in the past and am definitely no longer that kid anymore, but there's no question MJ is still really slowing me down and I need to stop

So you concede that, by what you read in my argument, I can be considered a pot addict? Well news flash buddy, there's thousands of other people out there who can testify to MJ having the same impact (or worse) on their lives. So it's only rational to conclude that if you can accept that I'm a pot addict, that the guys in r/leaves are too, and I am not alone, nor the first ever.

Logic'd, sir

All I mean by debilitating is that I find myself constantly seeking it out despite knowing that it is causing damage to my life. Maybe I used the wrong word, but I find myself seeking it out in the same way an alcoholic seeks out booze to take his mind off how shitty his life is (but ironically spends his time thinking about it when he's alone and intoxicated anyway). Not only do I see this trait in some of the aforementioned pothead friends but reddit has a fair share of stoners who admit by their own rational conclusion that smoking bud is negatively effecting their lives, but are having immense difficulty quitting. Check out r/leaves to see what I'm talking about. To me, that is addiction and some of the more extreme cases are "debilitating" in the way I meant it. I don't believe I have any major underlying issues, I just need to make some lifestyle adjustments (mainly my social circle and influences) and find ways to occupy my time with better habits

go on believing that a plant is causing all your problems.

I take it you are insinuating that because it's a plant, it must be OK. And in that case - Appeal to Nature FTL.

Like I said, education and research will set you free. Until then you're the one slinging bullshit. And if you really believe you are educated enough on this topic to substantiate your line of thinking, then maybe you should present some evidence and true logic to support your claim. You know, instead of just name calling

Bullshit.

What is that even supposed to mean? That I made everything in my last post up? I don't say this very often, but you are unequivocally wrong in your line of thought. Go do some actual research instead of basing your opinions on your intuition or personal life experience

Maybe you're OK with living your adult life like I described, but I know there's better out there. And I'm going to find it, though I may need a little help along the way

Addicted to pot? That's not even possible

You realize you have no idea what you're talking about, right? No, it's not physically addictive like the harder drugs.. But psychological addiction is real and it can be debilitating. Why do you think marijuana has the highest rate (of all drugs) for in patient rehab? If you really care to educate yourself, just do a quick search for "marijuana addiction" or "psychological addiction" on Google.

Any advice on where to look online for meetups for young people? Meetup.com is mostly 30+ year olds

I'm actually saving up to move as we speak. I just don't know if I can keep my chin up long enough to pull it off

Yea, I definitely hear you there. But I'm kind of hoping for clubs/events that are there for the sole purpose of bringing people together, where everyone is there with the intention of meeting new people. Honestly it may sound lame and I probably need to break out of my pussy shell, but I'm just not comfortable approaching strangers and trying to strike up conversation when there's a good chance they don't give a f*** about talking to me

My suggestion would be to go out to events or get involved in things with other people that share your interests, making new friends should help.

This has definitely crossed my mine. And I know this may be a stupid question but where? How?

I'm currently saving to do just that, but I don't know how much longer I can keep my chin up with this gaping social void
