Drugs & Alcohol traces one of the clearer shifts in GritCult's archive. Early posts already scorned weed smokers and drunkenness while arguing for legalisation; by 2023 and 2024 that hostility had hardened into calls to ban beer, cannabis and all drug use, framed around weakness, control and wasted talent. Coffee, nicotine and other stimulants are openly praised, and "drug" doubles as his favourite metaphor for anything that captures attention.

Views

Alcohol draws the most sustained attack. He calls it "such an evil drug" that leaves people satiated, brings out their inner demons and makes them mentally weak, concluding that it is "a drug for the subjugated", once handed out free to the lower classes [1]. The framing is political as much as medical: in his telling, alcohol is normalised because a sedated population is easier to manage. In December 2022 he turned this into a challenge, telling followers to be sober for all of 2023 because their romanticism of altered inhibitions had made them weak, and signing off with "Reality is my drug" [2].

Cannabis is attacked on physiological grounds. He asserts that marijuana is "estrogenic", blaming it for fat gain and difficulty building muscle [3], a claim he posted in 2020, repeated in 2021 and later restated as a contrast with nicotine. Stimulants are the conspicuous exception. Coffee, energy drinks and nicotine are praised in terms he does not extend to depressants, and the exemption reaches prescription stimulants: a 2022 warning that long-term adderall use is brain damage gave way to a 2025 list of advice urging far more adderall, and in 2026 he was presenting modafinil as a fix for addiction. Psychedelics get the most ambivalent treatment. A 2022 list of life advice included experimenting with them, but by 2024 he was calling ayahuasca a gateway to "getting possessed by demons" and saying he knew no one who took it and kept their sanity [4].

Behind the hostility is what he says he has seen first hand: the biggest killer of talent he witnessed was drug abuse, with nothing else close in bringing people down [5]. His view of the law shifts accordingly. In 2018 he argued like a libertarian, noting that the more laws people disagree with, the less they value the law, and that prohibition led to an increase in violence [6]. By 2024 the position had reversed. The way to stop fentanyl deaths, he wrote, is to ban, regulate and shame all drug use; prescription drugs should be less available and weed should be banned, and he blamed what he called big pharma cartels for an over-medicated America [7], a demand that sits awkwardly with the adderall and modafinil he recommends elsewhere.

The word drug also does metaphorical work across the archive. He repeatedly pointed out that both social media companies and drug dealers call their customers users [8], posting the line at least four times in 2020 and 2021, and he applies the same language to music, pornography and the attention economy. The common thread is control. Whatever the substance or the screen, the failure he fears is the same: a man whose appetites run him instead of the other way round.

Recurring themes

  • alcohol as a sedative for the subjugated
  • sobriety as strength and identity
  • cannabis framed as a hormonal hazard
  • stimulants celebrated as fuel
  • from scepticism of prohibition to ban and shame
  • drugs as a metaphor for captured attention
