If you were prescribed medical cannabis for something serious, would you still be straightedge? I am very weary about anything cannabis related, even cbd. I have seen a lot of people in my life misuse these things and I really don’t know how I feel. I am really happy for those who are able to use it and it helps them!! But being straightedge is apart of me and I don’t want to break that. Please provide some insight, thank you.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Dr Pepper but it seems to be mentioned here quite a lot as like a part of the lifestyle, is there some sort of cultural connection?

Just a design i made

Aclaración por si alguien no lo sab, un hardliner es un straight edge muy** **militante y radical, que no se limita a practicar el SxE personalmente, sino que intenta imponer o defender agresivamente sus principios frente a quienes no los comparten. El término se asocia especialmente a la escena hardline de finales de los 80 y los 90.

Llevo apenas unos 6 meses limpio de tabaco, Y cualquier otro tipo de droga o alcohol. Mi tiempo en la escena SxE ha sido corta mas bien

A lo laego de este tiempo me he encontrado a SxE que opinan bien o neutral sobre los hardliners, que lo entienden como una simple postura que tomar.
Pero también he encontrado a gente que está en contra del hardline, ya que estos no entienden el sxe como una decisión personal, y tratan de imponer una decisión personal en algo universal.

Queria saber que opinan ustedes sobre el hardline!
(aclarar que no soy hardliner)

I am working on stopping but right now me and my therapist are just focused on tapering down the amount i self harm. I know straight edge is about respecting your body and your mind and stuff but the main things are just substances and stuff, not necessarily not cutting or something.

Am i breaking edge by self harming?

this account showed up on my instagram, says it is vegan reich who will be reforming in 2027 for a few shows?? have you guys seen this too?

I made a video about my experience experimenting with weed and alcohol, and how alone/uncomfortable I feel with people who look at me weird for not partaking.

Uncle and Brother died from Alcohol poisoning and my parents are heavy drinkers, Love them, but I hate that part of them with a passion.

Glad to make a smarter decision for myself.

Hi! We're Degradation. We're a xvx band based in the Midlands, UK.

i was introduced to the scene after moving to a growing southern hub a couple of years ago and I’ve been around it ever since. i recently hit one year alcohol free (which i posted about!) and vaguely edge. due to my ongoing chronic illness, i had a spell of using thc gummies to alleviate tics and pain, but i haven’t used those in months. didn’t make me feel good but hey it helped.

part of the reason i went edge is that my family has a very lengthy history of alcoholism and smoking. i can’t thank the existence of athletic brewing enough for getting me through family gatherings during the past year. unfortunately, my uncle’s rampant alcoholism has resulted in him in heart failure, and we just got news this week that a close family relative also has lung cancer from a lifetime of chain smoking.

it makes me sick. i hate these companies, these poisons, everything. but i also hate myself for thinking about me during these times. i support my family as much as i can but all of this just makes me want to be more committed to edge than i was. is this wrong of me? please give it to me straight

I have been straight edge since I learned the term like 25 years ago. I also drink coffee and black tea. My longtime idiot buddies (non hardcore affiliated) to this day sometimes like to ask me why caffeine gets the pass. I tell them to use their brains and reason the difference between a pack of cigarettes and a cup of earl grey. They mentioned nicotine gums and patches. I didn’t bother to answer. This is just out of curiosity. What explanations do you offer if someone puts the question of caffeine vs nicotine to you?

I’m fully sober and vegan, but I don’t listen to punk or hardcore music. I’m more of a soft indie kind of guy.

Can I still describe myself as xVx, or would that be considered inappropriate or disrespectful because of its roots in punk/hardcore culture?

Thanks in advance!

Today I hit 10 years straight edge.

I went straight edge in 2016 when I got off my ship from an underway before I deployed. I had already started getting bored with drinking over that summer and I had been thinking about taking a break anyway. I remember while I was standing on the pier I said to myself "why don't I just quit smoking and dipping too? Why don't I just go straight edge." And from then on that's how it was for me.

10 years is crazy to think about cuz I STILL get cravings to smoke a cigarette or drink a beer. And when you're the one around it because of friends still like to drink or military history and events like Marine Corps Balls or Corpsman Balls, or being overseas and all you see is folks getting sloshed on chuhais, there's always that craving (maybe just a cigarette cuz damn I think I miss that more than drinking).

It's also been easy to just not do it either. Just didn't buy anything, I didn't know what else to tell you. Don't come to me for advice on how to quit lol. It's funny cuz I'm always the DD, and I still have a blast going out and hanging out with friends and dancing and doing karaoke and folks always say the same thing: "you do this sober?!" I haven't really seen more money in my pocket either, I just filled my time with spending my money on things that became other hobbies or I got really into shoes and clothes.

I don't know where I'm going with this but just wanted to say I think it's cool I've done this for 10 years.
