Yeah, it’s true, doing anything to look cool is not cool, but I personally like a THC high, it’s legal, I dont drink, which I believe is far all around worse in many ways. I like the buzz.
Still though you are right, weed is so not a big deal though, I’m hesitant to even refer to is as drugs tbh. I smoke about 1/2 OZ a month legally, strongest s*** I can find and really, I don’t ever get a good high. I am never super stoned, which kind of makes it pointless right? This is actually exactly the conclusion I came to about 8 years ago. I quit for a year, on the spot, easy. I only started again because of a bit of peer pressure, and me realizing it was alright. There is way way worse out there to get messed up with.
It’s not about looking cool though either. It’s not about looking cool at all actually. It’s about the buzz. That s*** will make you feel s*** harder if you’re doing art or music.
