Recently in my college, I felt the stigma of social expectations, burdening my back. They joked about weed and types of weed and their ignorance spoke for itself.
Laudable was the fact that these are people who stay among smokers who smoke a cigarette every day to slowly collect the carcinogenic tar in their lungs, slowly increasing their probability of having a lung/mouth cancer. (Inke lungs mei jitna taar hai, usse ek pura NH 10 wpis bana du mei)
Laudable is the fact that these people support all modern ideas of bunking classes that waste time, and were the first ones to subscribe to Jio prime but, did not find out time in their lives to dig up 3-4 articles about weed, about the substance they hate so much but sadly know nothing about
Their ignorance shone brightly from their faces when they tried to joke about weed and its types. Bro, you mixed cocaine and meth. It is like trying to make fun of alcohol when all you know is Rs 10 soda flavours.
There are People at Ted x who have come forward to share stories of how they went against all social odds to treat their daughter's epileptic seizures. They went ahead to claim that 'millions' of lives are lost because weed is not yet legal in many states. Then why the adamant opinion about weed, that makes the mere reference of weed to trigger a red alert repulsive response in our brains?

Today we are a generation that questions every statement, our professor makes and we cross match that with the internet. Now that we have such huge(unrestricted) access to information, that even locations to score weed are just a quora/google search away. Then why the inertia to know just a little about weed, why the lack of interest to sit and question a regular weed users and question them about the experiences. What harm can a 'new perspective' bring to you. No one wants you to actually have weed.
I now understand why the shady track of my stoner friends is as such. They have realized the basic intent of people is to tag a stoner as a person who is trying to 'escaping something', or someone with a serious brain damage.
But not accepting the fact that alcohol and cigarettes are more of a threat to human health than weed is.
This is what I will consider as the real brain damaging thinking.
This is what hypocrisy is for me.
