A nonzero amount of modern youth listlessness, hopelessness, anxiety, and young male social disengagement is certainly caused by a dramatic increase in exposure to weed. Adults, whatever, make your own peace with yourselves. But the access kids in middle school and high school have these days is several orders of magnitude greater than at any other time.

@kyle Do you think weed enhances those feelings or causes them? We live in very interesting times. 🫠

For adults I think consumption is OK. Everything in moderation etc etc.

@kyle how are you measuring this?
@mattiem By having been in high school and knowing how difficult it was to get weed before it was generally legal and before dab pens existed, and reading articles around modern teen use in schools (e.g. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/marijuana-high-schools-legalization-vaping-642fe29d), and finding used dab pens that kids have thrown into my yard. In my day™ you had to know an unsavory character who knew even more unsavory characters and it stank—now there are many stores, and you can get it delivered illegally from Craigslist and it smells like fruit.
@kyle that’s interesting our high school experiences were incredibly different
