Why don’t you quote my post here to see what I said about it? And what about the reply that followed? (Btw, it’s all the same thread, it’s easy!) Does it seem like I’m excusing myself or defending it like everyone else or admitting that I would be a better, more complete person if I phased it out of my system? Come on, man, you gotta be fair when the evidence is in this very same thread, lol.

And whilst the Qur’an only talks about alcohol, I’m personally adding other intoxicants to the list to avoid (I could not, basically, but I know better). And even then, if I have to explain the psychological differences between someone who’s drunk and someone who’s high, and the actions they might take because of it, then idk, you have never tasted them or seen those who make it a habit, because the difference in harm is obvious. But we don’t have to go that far: I personally opened up about my own shortcomings (when I didn’t have to) BECAUSE I’m not a “holier than thou” hypocrite, but a person who understands weakness, and unlike those arguing against me, I never defended/rationalised mine. Those who did ITT just lack the courage to admit to their own shortcomings… in a pseudonymous forum, which is frankly kind of pathetic but I understand weakness so I still engage, patiently (if a bit irritated).
