Ok but what If I live with people who chain smoke cannabis and Im a teetotaler? I live with people who chain smoke cannabis all day, everyday and I cant really affodd to go anywhere else....except for a homeless shelter... but ALL the homeless shelters where I live are super filled.
Ive been a teetotaler my whole life. And Im 30 now and STILL a teetotaler so Im pretty sure we can all agree I will be a teetotaler till forever.
So why do I as a teetotaler have to pay for what others do? Why am I not allowed to have my own tiny , cannabis-free place to live? Im completely peaceful, I dont have a single violent incident on my record.
