Miland:They don't belong in gufujoj (ah, that's how this relates to Esperanto.I just wanted to see if Esperantists are more likely to support or discourage their use.

Why don't you ask this question in the Esperanto forum?

) - they are rare among the general population where I live, even among religious people, and as far as I can tell, teetotalism seems even rarer among Esperanto speakers.In general, my observation is that Esperantists are more permissive towards drugs/intoxicants than average. This is probably what motivated the original poster to make this thread, though I agree it should be on the Esperanto forum.
(OK, so alcohol isn't a street drug.

I am not a teetotaler, I drink for religious reasons, but I don't really like the taste and I don't drink alcohol for pleasure. At home without guests I usually use grape juice instead of wine for whatever religious practices require something grapey.

It's always something that has irritated me. I remember going to the Amsterdam Marxism weekend (not recommended as a weekend break) and during the meetings and in the evenings nearly everyone was drunk as a lord and and even people who didn't usually smoke weed were trying it. It gets to be de rigueur and viewed as either a protest or an act of 'freedom', when really it's just plain old getting stoned.
Am I completely wrong about this with regard to Esperanto?

Am I completely wrong about this with regard to Esperanto?I don't have much in-person experience with Esperanto culture outside of my local club, but what you've described seems to hold true for most youth culture, (especially in parts of Europe, plus the UK/US South, which have a difficult relationship with alcohol). During my time at university I knew of exactly two people besides me who didn't drink (excluding health reasons), and many people were not new to pot.
I wonder if this isn't mostly a generational difference. I can't envision the 50+ Esperanto crowd getting stoned on a regular basis.

I think it would be more healthy if cannabis would be legal. It should be cheaper and contain less THC substances than now.
Sorry for mistakes.
