Different personalities desire different things. To enjoy and want to do heroin, you have to want to suppress the self and be fine with doing nothing. To enjoy and want to do meth, you have to be very into performing, usually capitalism, work, doing things, and be fine sacrificing your health to meth to do so. These are wildly different personalities and desires, so both of their PoVs make total sense

The first sentence sounds a lot like me with weed. It didn't help anything, but it made me complacent about not doing anything because of my depression.

Well, that's a bit of a lie. Because of weed I was able to complete the PT for my torn labrum surgery in half the time the surgeon expected. I think I only had to go to like 6 PT sessions before the therapist told me I didn't need to show up anymore.

It's the effect weed has on fat soluble vitamins, esp bc it is estrogenic (meaning it encourages your body to find more fat soluble vitamins and store more of them). Vitamin k1 (which has to be balanced w vitamin e) helps with healing a LOT.

It also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Yes because it helps people absorb more vitamin e through the estrogenic/fat storage properties. Vitamin e is anti-inflammatory
