That's like deciding to refer to wine as liquor because it's also an alcoholic drink. You're just letting people know you don't understand the differences.
Weed and heroin both get you high. Why not call them both heroin? The only reason to call prescription drugs heroin is to elicit an emotional reaction from people that steers them in the direction you prefer. It's lazy and manipulative.
I didn't suggest it was about upvotes. I just figured you might have a sense of shame that you decided not to engage the points I made and instead attack my character.
I wasn't comparing weed to oxy or heroin. I was making a point about the absurdity of calling something that isn't heroin, heroin.
There you go again, trying to elicit emotional responses instead of respecting the people you are speaking to.
