I'm sorry, I might go into a bit of a rant here.
But I've been noticing a trend recently where in every party I join there is at least one and usually multiple people telling tall tails about how high they are.
Now honestly, I don't care that you use whatever. Some of the people I regularly play with do some type of drug or another.
What baffles me is how some people tend to think they're somehow badasses for having the ability to pop a pill in their mouths. Nobody cares that it's "legal in your state". I'm from holland, do you think we go around advertising our drug use to every random person we meet? Not only does it make you look kind of dumb, but do you even realize there's also younger kids playing this game that might actually think it's kinda cool that you get to stay home all day, smoke weed and play video games while you're ignoring your crying child in the background?
I hate to be that guy, but damn, show some dignity.

Some people are just attention starved and this is the only way to get it

I will wreck you in a k hole noob #merica

Edited by GutturaI: 12/22/2015 8:17:03 PMI've had more than a few games with blatant individuals (doing massive bong hits), and then some less obvious players who go on 'coffee breaks' every so often. I think the latter are a being more respectful with the younger crowd in mind.

Edited by nevai: 12/22/2015 9:02:04 PMIn my country (Russia) consuming any type of drugs is forbidden, so that's not a problem for me :)

it's pretty understandable. marijuana in the US is transitioning from controlled substance to recreational. people have always smoked pot, & now it's leaning towards being socially acceptable, so of course people are going to talk about it. if it bothers you, mute & move on.
-
Its the idiots that think its cool. I dont know how many times Im playing with a team and somebody has to go hit the bong, just take a -blam!-ing rip, you dont have to declare it every time

Edited by joey big guns: 12/22/2015 9:03:58 PMI would love to be able to sit at home all day smoking and playing video games. No kids so nothing for me to sit at home and ignore. Now that chip chewing or lip smacking over the mic. That I got a problem with. Just cause weed is a gateway to your fridge or snacks doesn't mean I need to hear you eating them.
-
Such a scorching hot take.
-
Lol So we meet again..
-
Not sure what sort of drugs you're referring to.. But "legal in my state" usually and (lately) applies to marijuana, since it's getting legalized steadily across the country. That being said... That's USUALLY not a pill. There are capsule forms one can take, but im fairly certain that it doesn't contain THC, just CBD.
-
you're from Holland? isn't that weird?
-
The people you are referring to are not capable of grasping the concepts you're preaching.
-
What's funny (actually sad really), is most of the people who responded with "It makes me play better", "It's my lifstyle, don't tell me what to do" or "It's the the only way I can play Destiny now", are the ones obviously "on the pot" (lol), and they [b]COMPLETELY[/b] missed the point of this post.
-
Wait so you expect people to use a mind altering drug and then ignore their high experience? Lolwut. Some people just enjoy drugs and video games. What are you some kind of Prohibitionist?
-
"Hold up i gotta smoke a bowl" EVERY FÙCKING TIME
-
"100% of people playing destiny high have kids." Manofniel
-
Maybe that's just the only way people can enjoy this game anymore
-
Holland huh? Isn't like 90% of your tourism due to hash bars and prostitution? I know Amsterdam was a blast.
-
Smoke weed everyday.

Edited by bletzy: 12/22/2015 8:36:26 PMCouple people I play with get high as a kite whilst we raid lol... But they don't have children. I have kids... And the little one often wakes when we are about to go ape s**t on a boss... But the team are awesome... So understanding... They just wait until I'm back. Don't know any of these guys personally either. I don't get high... But I don't begrudge ppl that do... Although if their kid was screaming in the background I'd be the first one to say something.... After re reading OP's post... This isn't even relevant looooool
-
I prefer destiny after some herb usage and drinks.
-
It's not so much the smoking or talking about smoking that annoys me, more so the munchies that entail lol. Trying to beat oryx then someone says "hold on, I'm gonna eat some ice cream."....10 minutes later try again and fail a couple times... Then 'crunch crunch crunch' 'guardian down'. "Just open and eat your bag of chips, and we'll be back in 10 minutes again."....10 minutes later, try and fail...and sure enough-"I'll be back in 30 minutes, gotta run to mcdonalds, I'm starving!"...........really? What was the purpose of the ice cream and chips?? This is the usual case if I use lfg and ,needless to say, we never end up finishing a raid.
-
Have to agree man. Just because you do something in your personal time doesn't mean it relates to everyone you play with or that they want to hear about it.
-
I just did coffee, in fact my keurig drug machine is making me another right now! I hope the kids don't start doing coffee too. I'm hooked on the shit.
