Lol, no. Considering the three largest sources of emissions as far as countries are concerned are about 50% of the global total, refuse to take action, nothing is going to change.

Still speak with a professional. Don't self diagnose. I don't know if you have and know for a fact that it's depression, but if you haven't and are just going from symptoms that can be dangerous.

There's a whole slew of mental disorders that might appear as depression at first but are something else, and for some of them, weed can even make them worse than they'd be without it. I speak from personal experience on that. I thought I was depressed, took weed and it turns out it was schizoaffective disorder with major depressive onset. Weed made it much worse than it'd have to be.

I'm not saying that to scare you or anything, cutting off weed and taking proper medication really helped me out personally. But if you're thinking it's some mental disorder, it's always better to get proper diagnosis and medication for it.

I wish you the best regardless. As for the question, when is it too much, the answer was given already. When it starts affecting your life. And yes, weed is not addictive, physically at least, but it definitely is psychologically. If you feel shit when cutting it off, or can only function with it, it's still addiction.

You're right it's not, since neither did I comment on the original poster's message, but the one's you were responding to, nor did I assume anything about the original poster. And I'm certain I was not the person you originally replied to either.

Maybe pay more attention next time? If you're interested in my answer to the OP, I have that below in another comment that answers to the OP, not you answering to someone else that commented on the OP.

You know what an example is? Regardless of whether I agree with him or not, those were examples. They good list a whole bunch of other foods or shampoos or drinks or whatever the hell you can imagine. The poster was trying to make a point. Fixating on the examples and giving personal examples of people you specifically don't do the two things the poster mentioned doesn't make the argument lose its merit.

My personal opinion on the subject is very different than the poster's, which can be summarized to that I don't oppose art because I don't like the artist, I won't stop reading Lovecraft or listening to Vivaldi because they were trash people, because their art is great. So I don't in fact agree with what the poster said, but clinging to personal examples to refute an argument while ignoring the global average which is what the argument was using is disingenuous.

With the same logic, since the people you know don't eat meat, that'd mean there's no problem with the meat eating in the world, which I'm sure you'd rush to point out the absurdity of logic there.

As far as I know, Larian is not such a company like you mention. Everything they've done or said so far, to my knowledge, both referring to BG3 and their previous games is classes above the average for the industry.

Of course it's your decision to not buy their game based on the fact they had to use WotC's IP, but you're punishing an actually good developer for something they did not have a choice on (WotC's ethics and way of running things).

Truth is like that you're not hurting them, and most importantly not hurting WotC who'd get a small percentage of a small percentage of your sale. Couple of bucks at best is nothing to WotC's bottom line.

But that's your prerogative and that's fine. However, I do suggest you play the game, cracked if you must because so far with about 20h in, it's an amazing game from a great company. Maybe it won't make you buy it, but at least it might make you consider supporting their other, or future, games that are not connected with WotC. Because the last few years we're fast to point fingers to others, but forget to reward the few that do things properly.
