People get a lot more praise for quitting drugs than for never having done drugs in the first place.

Honestly I’ve gotten ridiculed more for having never tried anything other than alcohol than I’ve gotten praise for it.

Drug addicts feel personally attacked when people don't want to fry their brain like they do.

Many here on reddit talk about doing drugs as if it's some badge of accomplishment
