Was a [6] and felt like being nice but the bitter goblins of Reddit just brought a huge downer on my high. Why can't everyone be like you ents?

Looking back on it now, there were a couple of moments I wish I'd been better with my words but I was a [6] and was too much in the moment.
I love how you guys don't jump on anyone who might seem like they're bragging because you guys know that they're just high and trying to just get their message out their. I've gotten so used to your infinite kindness and awesome that it's spoilt me. After having my high ruined by the comments, I've come to realise that weed really is a beautiful thing because all of you are awesome and you all smoke weed. There has to be some kind of correlation there.
And to set the facts straight for you ents (because I actually care what you guys think); I'm working my ass off doing CS at university, I'm self funding myself cause my parents have been unemployed for the past three years and are struggling to pay off their mortgage (my father hasn't made a show since I was a young kid).
Anyway, I'm going to smoke up again, try and forget it, and spend some time with the people I love; you guys!

Dude, Reddit is so full of cynical bastards and trolls, it's hard not to get discouraged by what they say. You've got some balls, and honestly, never sell yourself short, if you think that's where you'll be, you have a way better chance of getting there than all the lazy apathetic bastards who have lost their dreams, so feel it necessary to make other people lose theirs. Don't listen to them, shoot for the moon, if you miss, at least you'll still end up with the stars.
And £20,000+ worth of debt due to my university degree. Just because my father created some shows and has some pretty cool mates doesn't mean he's rich. He's been unemployed for years and hasn't made a show since I was a kid.
This guy is the one that got to me the most. I mean, seriously, it's guys like these that lead me to not use Reddit for several days as I calm my temper. I think r/trees should just form a spin-off site and run using the reddit sourcecode. I think we'd be better for it.
Reddit has gotten too big, and now it's all pun threads and who can make the best joke to rake in the karma. And if your not smart enough to make a good joke, people switch to troll mode to make themselves feel better, it's quiet sad actually.
Welcome to the internet. Somehow r/trees has managed to form a tiny sanctuary in the unending sea of hatred, and for this we can all be thankful.
It's probably because we're too high to care about actually making 'reddit' karma, we just want real life karma.
I commented a few times on that thread and everyone belittled me and talked so much shit.
I posted a suggestion a while ago that someone buy www.weeddit.com and have it redirect here. Someone actually did, but I have no idea who. For now I just pretend that www.weeddit.com is it's own happy little site but maybe somehow r/trees can actually be moved over there and it can become its own entity.
