This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Because it’s a drug that makes you feel good?

More specifically, its a stimulant that makes your brain more active and helps you cut through your exhaustion. Like caffeine, its a "work drug" designed to crank more units of labor out of you in a limited time span, at the expense of your overall health and well-being.

That's why capitalist countries have been so loathe to outlaw it, when compared to the creative/transgressive stimulants like LSD and THC.
