If you want to abstain from drugs, great. But you shouldn't use it as a way to look down on others and feel morally superior to them. Especially considering smoking a joint is about as harmful as eating a Big Mac.
Bad comparison. Cannabis is medicine.

I've said it was a bad comparison twice in this thread. The point I was trying to make was that it shouldn't even be an issue in today's society and people who see it as some brain-damaging drug are living in the past.

I guess it's not a fair comparison since Big Macs are riddled with GMOs, but the point is that smoking weed should be a borderline non-issue. If you overhear that your cousin smoked a bowl last weekend, it shouldn't be some huge topic of gossip that possibly leads to an intervention; it should be like hearing your cousin went to McDonalds or had a beer last weekend. No big deal on it's own, possibly an issue if they're doing it every single day.

I am straight edge and I think it makes me superior to most people.

Choke on it, class.
Whatever helps you feel important, man.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
I'm sober these days but I will never be 'straight edge' as I don't need a label for being sober, plus I still want to have an ayahuasca trip.

Labelling yourself is just a way to make you feel special.

it's also a quick and convenient way to describe different types of human behavior

"i'm straight-edge" > "i have a philosophical opposition to using drugs and drinking alcohol"

Which Demonic doesn't.

I just hate this "only edgy kids dont label themselves" meme

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Meh, whatever. It's not my choice, so why should I try to force it like some drug-pusher?

People with a "I'm better than you because... x" is a completely different thing altogether, and applies to anybody with any belief.

People can live their lives however they want. Teetotalism is often a respectable conviction. I don't condone hard drugs and support moderation or abstaining from alcohol and smoking anyway.

Labels are for practicality and convenience, they aren't inherently egotistical. Some people just use them that way.

I don't need to label myself for being sober simply because saying "I'm sober" should be enough.

I never encounter situations where doing any of those things is encouraged. No point in labeling myself.
