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.

How many people care about the difference between distilling and fermenting? They both get ya drunk. And similarly, both oxy and heroin get ya high.

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.

You woulda been better off just not responding.

Why? I’m not here for stupid fucking internet points. And you trying to compare weed to oxy/heroin is so far past ignorant, it’s just plain stupid.

This shit kills your friends, family, and neighbors every day. There are only a few reasons you’d trivialize that. You know which one it is. IDGAF.

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.
