What would you say your best/worst experience was on drugs?

Do you find that you are able to start conversations randomly with friends or strangers more easily now than before you started this experiment, and also do you believe that the camera gives you more "courage" to go and speak to people you wouldn't normally talk to or is it just your personality?

Reddit, in general, is a much more left-leaning website, and therefore I doubt you see many comments like that without sarcasm. Also, to play devil's advocate, many people view money from taxes for programs like food stamps, social security and welfare, specifically welfare, going to those who are undeserved. A common right-wing opinion is that a lot of the money going to welfare recipients is going to their drug money or to support someone who is too lazy to go and find a job to support themselves.

Often, welfare is perceived as perverse incentive, because it gives unemployed people a reason to not go job searching. In their mind, a minimum wage job for 40+ hours more per week is not worth the few extra dollars they would receive.

After reading these comments and the post details, it's obvious this woman is well deserving of help and is not just lazy. Therefore, people are more willing to help, knowing that the money won't go to waste or be spent on drugs and alcohol.

Also, many people believe a lot of the tax money is lost in the bureaucracy of the government, and I'm sure to an extent, that it is true.

For a full disclaimer, I don't fully believe in what I stated about welfare programs, I only stated opinions that exist.

It seems like Hope loves to be on the camera, I remember when I was 13 and I would hate looking back at how I acted and seeing how immature I was. Are you worried you may catch Hope or Colin doing something they regret that they later cringe at?
