This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Some of y'all have never been addicted to anything and it shows.
Yeah you say that like it's a character flaw.
"You're worthless suckers have no vices"
IMO if you go your whole life not trying drugs you're robbing yourself of important experiences.
Everyone should known what addiction feels like, even if it's just the slight nagging of a cigarette.
Everyone should do a psychedelic at least once, most people who have had a positive trip rank it as one of the three most important experiences of their life along with things like the birth of their child.
We owe it to ourselves to experience as much of the human experience as we can tolerate, because the future versions of ourselves will thank us for it.
I’m an active opioid user tapering down to quit. While I get what you’re saying, I don’t necessarily agree. There’s a lot of people in this world who will go off the deep end after trying any substance for the first time (I’m an example).
As for psychedelics, it can be beneficial; there’s just a lot of factors that go into whether someone should use it or not. Some people, despite the less addictive nature of LSD and psilocybin, develop a habit to regularly use regardless. Other people might be prone to mental disorders developing from just one trip.
