If by "bud" you mean marijuana I'll just reply that I too partake when I can but mostly use that brown boy half out of necessity to treat chronic pain and half out the knowledge that at least it stops me from essentially being an alcoholic like literally everyone else I know over the age of 21. Cirrhosis sounds painful and if its not that its some other organ fucked by that liquid poison. Opioids are one of the least toxic substances people abuse. There is an epidemic of suicides being labeled accidental overdoses.

Weed is still the best though, it just doesn't treat my pain very effectively.
--I'm about to start the next story in "Alcina and Other Stories by Guido Gozzano". It's really good like most of Snuggly Books Catalog. I honestly don't think I'd use substances this much if I lived at a time when people wrote and talked about stuff like this book. Times when people actually cared about discussing the ills of society and there causes/solutions. We always cycle back I guess but it seems like the cycle is staying on the good times less and less as we move forward and the shit times more and more.
--I'm just so thankful that thanks to sheer force of will I managed to suck everything I wanted out of this life. I tried every substance I wanted (used nearly 100 chemicals recreationally), lost my virginity to a girl I loved more than anyone else in this world and maybe just as important I split with her on good terms, keeping her memory unspoiled, read as many amazing books as I wanted to, hiked atop as many beautiful mountains as any man can hope to (completed 3/4ths of the Appalachian trail, (only missing the shit states like Pennsylvania and Virginia lame states like that) and much more out west in Montana/Colorado/Wyoming) and all this before I turned 25 (nearing 30 now). The knowledge that I could learn I will die of Cancer in a year and it wouldn't phase me much if at all because I finished everything I wanted to do that early is incredibly liberating. Thank god for the internet , thank god for books, thank god for women, thank god for drugs and nature and life and thank god for the sweet release of death.

We'll meet in the end friend. All those who're worthy will
