A friend of mine from another state revealed to me that she smokes marijuana. Promptly after telling me that, she began explaining why marijuana is safer than cigarettes. Apparently, they don't damage your teeth, don't have so many negative long lasting effects, and some other stuff. Joyous. If they're so amazingly fine, why did I have to hear a rationalization! Clearly there's guilt involved if she thought she had to explain to me why she did it.
People always seem to be afraid of being judged, and they'll make any sort of rationalization to try to get around it. And that'll work for most people. Most people don't really care or don't really listen. All it told me was there was some hidden fear of being judged, some hidden fear that I'd be disappointed. The only thing that disappointed me was the rationalization afterwards.

Well...the way you diss people who do drugs/drink, its no wonder people rationalize their thoughts to you. Its because they consider you a friend!
