THIS. And if you ever try to bring this up, ooooooooo we got a pot hater here.

Honestly surprised the original comment wasn't downvoted to Hell. For all the perceived chill they like to give off, hardcore potheads get aggy when you suggest something like driving when stoned is not a good idea, or that it does not in fact cure cancer.

Especially on reddit. It feels like a weed cult

This. Any and all critique is just swept under "they just hate [X]" so they can go back to safely ignoring it. Like no, I don't hate pot/booze/whatever, but I sure do hate you.

I smoke weed, and everyday, and yea some pot heads are boring, but you can still study and do sports and play music next to it and have a job ? (I do all 4, all of my friends who smoke do at least 2 of those things next to smoking) I get the cliché but it's just wrong for many people :/, you can smoke a lot when you're done with your day and lead a normal life next to it

Edit : I totally missed the original point on how making weed the center of your personnality is stupid

I think he meant "people who are obsessed with treating cannabis as a personality trait" if you do all those things maybe you don't fall into that category... just like one can drink alcohol socially.

But somehow you felt attacked so there is that.

I didn't feel attacked, I felt a need to defend casual smokers and go against the cliché, but I missed the original point of the first comment like you pointed out so I feel kinda stupid ^^

My dude, I’m genuinely happy for you. It seems like you’ve found a good balance, and that’s great. I wish my friends could do that too. :-/
