The Lesser of 2 Evils

Lately I've been struggling with a haunting realization. Some of my old drug buddies have adopted a holier than thou mindset in regards to what they're OK with and what they're not willing to do. I've known people that were never willing to do illegal drugs of any kind and they're less annoying than these people that do this but won't do that. Literally the same propaganda machine that they claim to have overcome with their drugs of choice are the same mechanisms that they fall victim to when it comes to drugs that I do that they don't promote. Does anyone else have experience with this phenomenon? Which side do you fall on?

well it depends, if they are doing it because they don't want to get in trouble with the law that's one thing, if they don't because they are brainwashed by gov. propaganda then they are just ignorant, and if they just don't like how certain drugs effect people or are addictive etc. then I get that too; however they should be pro-decriminalization so that people can have full right over their own body, at the end of the day u can't care too much about other people's opinion in this regard, i personally just want the right to take the drugs I want, legally and obviously with limited judgement but its hard to erase sigma that has been engrained in our society for 50 years

Objectively different drugs are much more or less harmful, dangerous and addictive than others.
Knowing where to draw your line and what your limits are is essential.
Crossing the wrong line can land you an addiction or a health problem that will ruin your life.
Deciding that you are ok with cannabis but not crack, Kratom but not smack, vaping but not cigarettes, LSD but not NBOME etc (whatever your own limits are) is just good sense and can save your life.
Pretending all drugs are equally harmful or equally risky is absurd.
Not all warnings about drugs are propaganda.
Making informed choices means recognizing the different levels or risk and consequence and making your lifestyle choices accordingly.
Ending up as a meth addict or a heroin addict is not a good fate. Recognizing this and avoiding trying those drugs is not being "holier than thou" it's informed self preservation.
