What the hell is life without weed. You clearly haven't lived.
Because when you're uncertain about something and a LOT of people are lookin at you like you're weird and practically forcing it down your throat to just try it, the best option is to just stay away. Peer pressure is hazardous, EVERYTHING in life should be a personal choice.
Not to mention many people would prefer not to set a leaf on fire then breathe in the smoke in order to get effed up in the mind for a while.
you realize you can eat marijuana right?0 -

✭YesIRL it would depend on the nature of skooma addiction as well as the most frequent side effects.
If skooma addiction is primarily physiological, as with, for example, opiates, then it is to be avoided at all costs except in the most extraordinary of circumstances. [This is partly why the British press has been having a field day of late depicting US medicine as borderline barbaric for prescribing truly record quantities of opiates to patients. Though they usually have a field day writing about any economic or social problems in the US. Must be some sort of a post-colonial complex.]
On the other hand, if skooma addiction is primarily psychological, then perhaps there may be something in the experience. Provided the most commonly associated side effects are tolerable - i.e. a modest hangover and, I don't know, one's ears turning blue for a few days, can be dealt with; hair and teeth falling out, on the other hand, I'd much rather not experience.
Based on what (little) I know of skooma from the game, my attitude IRL would be extreme caution paired with considerable medical research beforehand as per above. TLDR - probably not.
In-game - really, there are already all sorts of alcoholic beverages, and I believe there is some modicum of interaction with skooma dealers or manufacturers (certainly in AD). So for RP reasons - sure, to the extent it does not interfere with regular food consumption pre-dungeon runs or what have you.
It's sort of the point of MMOs - no IRL consequences to the player, hence you can act out whatever fantasy you wish within the bounds of the user agreement.
I honestly imgaine skooma being relative to lsd.0 -

I really don't think you can put weed accurately into that argument.Yes some people may not be suited for you,however it is far from being harmful.1 -

Because the thought of altering my mental state/not being in control/f'n with my brain/etc, is very disturbing. I want nothing to do with that. /shrug
(And not drinking is made even easier by the fact I think every alcohol anyone's given me a taste of over the years, tasted terrible.
)
While I can agree with you partially I can do everyting I do "sober" while I'm stoned.also yes alcohol is disgusting to me.The smell sets me off.0 -

................Sure. I guess all the actual scientists, doctors etc. who've published actual real journals about risks and links to health issues are all wrong.Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.1 -

There is no published evidence of weed being harmful (hence why every sane country has legalized it or is in the process of legalizing it). There is tons research extolling its benefits though. The only evidence of it being harmful is in childhood use while the brain is still developing.Edited by MLGProPlayer on November 26, 2017 11:23PM1 -

✭✭✭✭NoNo. That's asking for some serious trouble for me specifically. I am a taste snob. A big part of the reason I'm not interested in weed is because it smells and tastes so disgusting. But a drug that tastes like SUGAR? Oh gods. I'd be doomed.1 -

Last I remembered marijuana is useful in medicine.Also as science advances we tend to contradict things we once thought to be true.Besides the only possible danger of weed is smoking ,which of course it does not have to be smoked.0 -

The evidence is pretty slim, I agree. But you gotta think the ammonia, cyanide and formaldehyde contained in the smoke particles aren't doing you any favours. These chemicals do cause cancer so it is pretty reasonable to assume pot will increase your risk of some cancers.
People should be able to make their own choices though. And for some the benefits will outweigh the risks no doubt.

A good example of putting the horse before the cart. Frequent seizures are a more immediate and serious problem than some possible future brain development issue.1 -

Well, that was three minutes of my life that I'll never get back. Also, you know, not skooma. Though, he might be onto something with Rum, since that stuff is basically just fermented molasses.
EDIT: Looked it up on a whim. That's a badly made Malibu Bay Breeze. (Cranberry Juice, Pineapple Juice, Rum.) So, real drink mix, botched creation. Someone might actually convince me to try that at some point, but, you know, not Skooma.Edited by starkerealm on November 27, 2017 4:43AM0 -

There is no "ammonia, cyanide and formaldehyde" in cannabis... It has carcinogens,(like benzopyrene and benzanthracene) but nothing like cigarettes...

I can keep going, Cannabis is a treatment to many things, its no cure all, but it helps treat many diseases. Yes smoking cannabis is not great as it has a lot of tar, but did you know cannabis is a anti-broncial, meaning it opens your airways, so if you were having an asthma attack you could smoke and it would stop it...
