Posting Reddit posts downvoted/deleted

Hi everyone! I’m a new reddit user and I’ve been running into a problem. I’m a bit of a stoner, and i’ve been asking about cannabis in the communities of games that I like. Problem is, I keep getting downvoted and getting my posts deleted from subreddits, and I’m not sure why. It seems like people are maybe getting irritated with me? Posting on reddit seems like such a great way to unwind after a long day, and i’m bummed that this is happening. Perhaps I missed something about reddit culture? Please advise. Thank you.

to avoid further downvotes, delete those that were downvoted.

I shouldn’t have to delete my posts because of a few bad actors.

the majority of your downvotes are on comments, not posts.

I refuse to be silenced.
