Socialization built around substances such as Marijuana, Nicotine, Alcohol and God forbid other nasty stuff – fails and puts a drag (no pun) on the community.
Over 60% of college students do not engage in Marijuana use and about ~30% abstain from alcohol.
Substance use today is highly normalized through popular culture and it is on every corner. This forum has a unique identity where it does not revolve around such things.
Public advertising of 420 meet up sessions or drinking can and will make many people realize this is just another forum that’s part of the shitty system that got us in this sinking ship situation in the first place.
And then those users who see such posts will leave (“bounce”) because they do not engage in such things. The focus here is on the content of the people, your personality. YOU.
Here I encourage dopamine that you always crave deep down I’m talking about is the one we once enjoyed as kids. You can live a richer life if you really want to. I promise.
Now go post, this is the only hard-boundary.
