2025+: People turning to drugs to escape reality.
Oh, you sweet summer child.
Can't wait to see a YoY graph for alcohol use throughout the [modern] '20s
May be trending down due to marijuana being more normalized but I agree, would definitely be interesting to see!
True true. I wish weed didn't give me so much anxiety. I used to smoke a lot of it but when I quit for a while (right around Canadian legalisation unfortunately) and came back to it, it started causing me paranoia and stuff
Have you tried a higher cbd lower thc strain?
I have! At low THC doses it's okay but there's something still not quite the same about it as when I used to smoke a half-oz a week 😅. I think I most liked cannabis while having a tolerance which is unfortunate because you need to smoke often to have one...
