    It's honestly surprising that a community that is solely based around voice chat is so resistant to a better and cheaper (Free) product.
    I've changed my mind about discord, it's almost objective at this point that it does teamspeaks job better.

    Agreed, so much better for a visual experience over the synthetic shit.

    Yes weed isn't good for you but saying it's as harmful as you made it out to be just goes a bit too far imo.
    If you use it in moderation (i.e. in the evening when you just want to chill and watch a movie) and don't become a wake and bake person, there's no real "harm" that it causes. This is especially true when you compare it to other legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco, which have a much worse impact on your physical health. 
    Your personal opinion of weed has clearly been influenced by some bad experiences, which as you stated consisted of heavy use. I have personally been through stages where I smoked quite a lot, and yes I did feel it had a harmful impact on my life. Since then I smoke only in the evening when I got all of my tasks for the day done and I don't need to be productive anymore. 
    You have to look at the problem of legalisation objectively. Do the harms of legalisation outweigh the benefits? 
    I don't want to make this post too long so I won't list all my arguments, but I want to leave you with this:
    I believe all drugs no mater how harmful to ones person should be legalised.
    If someone in the UK wants to buy heroine, cocaine, fentanyl, etc. they can. Drugs are now more accessible and cheaper than they have ever been. The war on drug has failed and any money and time spent towards has been and will continue to be a huge waste of resources. If there's demand for something there will be supply, that is just simple economics. Governments around the world continue to tackle the problem by restricting supply, but that strategy has failed and instead I think we should focus on tackling the demand side instead. Therefore, I believe we should legalise and regulate all drugs. This would ensure that all drugs are not laced with something else as most drug deaths are caused by the drug dealers lacing drugs with harmful substance or users not knowing how to be safe while taking these subsatnces. The tax money can also be used to inform and help those addicted to the substances. This has been shown to drive down drug use significantly (i.e. anti-tobacco campaign in the U.S.) .
    I know what your argument will be 'legalisation will increase the use of drugs', but evidence actually suggests otherwise. Not only will children have a harder time obtaining drugs, cannabis legalisation in Colorado has actually lead to a decrease in cannabis smokers (Source).
     
    Tl;dr - prohibition doesn't work, only solution is legalisation of all drugs with a strong information and support campaign

    Yeah I think it's as close to fact as an opinion can get but there are plenty ultra left bongheads out there that think smoking weed has completely 0 negative effects.
    I made that comment on the toilet smoking a joint out the window so I can't say I'm biased either.

    You can't conflate "There was a longer, more difficult peace process that MIGHT'VE worked" with "Violence wasn't necessary". If a group of people are being oppressed and discriminated against then it is their right to take up arms against their oppressors.

    Go to reddit.com/r/wowservers to see some juicy drama, The community is split between wanting QOL changes and keeping the game a pure vanilla experience.
    I feel like I have a crystal ball looking into the future with these arguments because I can fucking guarantee it will follow a similar timeline to OSRS.

    And then they follow an entire development cycle to create untested content, forcing the same old shitty updates over and over again.
