This is not incorrect. Homestuck is not a work of great literature, but it pursues the same aims of constructing a narrative that is both mundane and massive, drawing from influences high and low. An appreciation of Homestuck requires prior knowledge of the author's work, as well as a significant understanding of the cultural landscape it emerged from.

Essentially all of the shared traits of the meme trilogy also apply to Homestuck.

Can somebody please explain the appeal of weed?

Smoking it is super uncomfortable and then after that your reward is you feel sleepy, hungry, lazy and are over all way less productive.

I'm not anti-drug at all. I love doing LSD, shrooms and amphetamines, but weed is just shit.

I could even understand if the people who liked weed were a small group where you could just dismiss it as them being "weird", but weed is the most popular illegal drug and it seems like most people who try it like it.

I don't know if it is just people trying to be "edgy" or "bad-ass" because they're breaking the law, but who wants to be associated with guys like in that video?

Different drugs have different effects on different people. Clearly you're in the group of people who dislike it. I was a pothead for years and now I hate it. That's life brah.

To a degree of course. So weed might make some people super happy or something like that, but you'll never find someone who has psychedelic trip after smoking weed. Right?

It might be that weed was not my first drug and when comparing it to others it was not as good. Maybe with no previous drug experience it seems so good and people who buy into weed propaganda believe that it is the only "safe" drug they can do so they never try anything else.

Maybe it's just that my body chemistry is abnormal.
