[49250] Storm on Social Media: A Lively Debate Surrounding Cannabis Consumption Culture


Twitter users are holding a sharp debate regarding the effects of cannabis, the dangers of driving under the influence, and user behavior.

Debate Online: Cannabis Effects and Driving Dangers

On May 4, 2026, a lively public debate arose on the social network X regarding the topic of cannabis consumption, accompanied by sharp criticism of users and the substance's effects on their functioning. The user hayasaka_aryan, who presents a highly critical stance toward drug use, called it the "worst drug ever," and claimed that it does not provide energy and even "makes you stupid" according to hayasaka_aryan.

At the same time, the issue of road safety was raised. The user unchaein raised a poignant question among the cannabis-using community regarding driving under the influence: "Why do so many smokers defend driving under the influence?", and added that it is "stupid and selfish" behavior according to unchaein.

On the other hand, voices were heard criticizing the excessive preoccupation with the topic. The user TransGirl responded to the sweeping criticism by claiming it is "performative" and called on critics to calm down, while noting that there are other addictive substances like caffeine and alcohol that receive less criticism according to TransGirl. The discussion reflects the existing polarization online surrounding social norms and health and safety risks.
