>>4335486Just think of them as pot addicts. Sure, you can smoke pot without ill effects. 0.2g bowl in the evening on a weekend, big deal. Then you have the addicts. It's a psychological addiction, not a physical dependency, so it builds up some complex copes backing it up most of which give them an excuse to continue being an addict and to feel superior to non-addicts. But because they are copes spontaneously created to feed the addiction they end up being total BS.
>inb4 film isn't a drug!Actually, buying shit IS addictive. This is a fact of human psychology few people are introspective or educated enough to be aware of it so very few people resist it. A co-opting of ancient hunter gatherer instincts. Buying film is a hit. Paying for chems is a hit.
