A red flag for what?

It's not uncommon to replace one addiction with another, and there is a big difference between weed and meth.

It really depends. I could probably smoke weed without any issue because that was never my "thing." I only smoked when I was drinking or hungover and once I got out of my drinking habits, I had very little if any desire for it.

Pretty sure meth is a red flag no matter what though.

Weed helped me to quit drinking in a risky way, now I dont even like weed anymore. So weed helped me sober up.

Meth? Big time.

Weed? Maybe, depending on how much they're doing and how often they're doing it, but in general, pot is less dangerous than alcohol.

Meth is really only a problem when you give it to the raccoon you keep in your car

Weed it depends on how it's being used. Meth? Yes, giant red flag.

Directly comparing weed and meth is so profoundly absurd that I can't perceive the topic as anything other than bait.

It's a red flag if a person does meth.

If someone replaces alcoholism with weed then good for them.

Im going to sidestep meth and weed being in the same category..

Im going to also sidestep meth since that one should be obvious.

So that all aside, weed can definitely be a red flag if it turns them into a pothead. While weed isnt nearly as dangerous as meth.... there also seems to be a lot of misinformation about weed having 0 adverse effects as well when it comes to heavy consumers.

Of course you can't have a topic mentioning weed without someone breaking out the old sterotypes they've only seen in movies.

My dad replaced alcoholism with Command & Conquer: Generals. No joke, he got straight up addicted to that game when he quit drinking.

If that's at me, what I said didnt "break out any stereotypes." I didnt say all weed consumers were potheads. My post was very clear in talking about heavy consumers, and yes there are potential adverse effects in heavy consumers.

I agree. And I am a heavy smoker. I'm just wondering who these potheads are going around spreading misinformation about weed having 0 adverse effects. It sounds like something a teenager who just started smoking it would say. Weed is definitely not for everyone, can exacerbate anxiety pretty badly, and it can seriously fuck with your REM sleep. Not to mention getting resin in your lungs making you cough all the time. Apologies if I got you wrong.

If someone can use weed to quit a serious drinking problem then technically they are better off. Even if its not an ideal solution

Meth, always. Weed, I wouldn't be as worried about. I know a few people who quit drinking due to serious alcoholism, but smoke weed and manage their lives quite well these days.

the booze is much more harmful than the weed, be more concerned with that tbh

edit: it just dawned on me that TC is probably just trolling with the dumbass "hurr durr weed and meth are both drugs burp durp"

If someone is using their AA sobriety token as a quarter in their grinder, I don't think that's a problem.

something can be a red flag without the thing that is being flagged happening
yes its a red flag to be doing drugs as a recovering alcoholic. that doesnt mean the recovering alcoholic doing weed is about to go out and start drinking again necessarily. but the weed is a red flag nonetheless
