I'm of mixed feelings on the issue of recreational drug use. On one hand, yeah, it's a bad thing to do from a personal perspective. It's dangerous and kinda worthless.
But on the other hand, how is drug use different to other recreational activities? I wouldn't use drugs even if you paid me to, but I don't mind if Lycia does because she's not damaging me in the process. Alright, fair point, it reflects on her character. But I'd much sooner judge her as a person by why she has said and done online than by what she indulges in privately.
Some people eat too much chocolate. Some people smoke too much. Some people drink themselves silly, and each of these is dangerous in some form or another. So why is it so much worse to use drugs like cannabis and stuff? Lets judge Lycia on who she is rather than what she does. She has more than enough of an online presence to judge her properly without resorting to attacking her pastimes.
However, I do have to criticise the promotion of drug use in a community of children. Hopefully this is not an intentional thing. |
