Oh yeah, sure. That's what they tell the people they don't toke up with. I bought weed from a guy who told his kids that until he could no longer deal weed after it was legalized in DC. "I used to smoke pot in college" is a common lie told by people who still smoke weed.

And depression and anxiety are at an all time high. Get those kids a keg!

Thanks, Biden. 🙄

...Who "say" they've done it.

I remember 1975 when I smoked marijuana with my school bus driver, and my teachers all returned from lunch break looking blitzed. Ahh..those were the days 😅.

Social media is the new drug of choice

There’s some good news.

My high school's ski trip during my junior year was to Killington, but we stayed in a hotel in New Hampshire, and I had just turned 18 about a week before our ski trip. So for that weekend only, I was legal to buy alcohol.

Same in Il.

If you’re wondering why US depends so much on foreign expertise in the tech industry look at the rate of marijuhana use among kids up to year 12

Don't worry, Trump will get those numbers up.

Those are not the drugs teens do anymore. You are behind the times.

Oh but Republicans lie about it being worse than ever

Thanks President Biden!!

Good for them being more responsible about it in critical development years.

ha, ha, I'm guessing Axios will write the same article this time next year, except it'll go the other way. Teen drug and alkohol use will go up after a year of Trump's fuckery

Yup, we were damn good

Free-range parenting and lax drug enforcement meant cheap and available booze/drugs. The legal drinking was 18 in 1980 in most states. We were treated more like adults as high school seniors than college seniors are today.

1980 just hit harder

So many adults invested in hearing the worst about young ppl are going to work hard to spin this SMDH

"Forbidden fruit" has a lot to do with it. It's far more socially acceptable to smoke marijuana now than it was in the 1980s, so there's less cache or 'street cred' from doing it as a teenager. Since most of their (grand)parents are from the 1980s and 1990s, drinking isn't as cool as it was then.

Well it took like four generations but it appears the Generation Gap has thankfully returned to popular culture. Maybe now Hot Topic will stop selling bootleg shirts of my 80s punk band.

Partly that, but also because it's not a "forbidden fruit" like it used to be. There's less motivation to "look cool" by doing it. A lot of parents nowadays believe in teaching kids to drink responsibly, meaning they allow moderate alcohol use under adult supervision. (Where's the fun in that?)

Maybe it’s because kids don’t hangout in person as much as they used to.

Cue complaining about kids these days being killjoys

That’s about to drastically change.

Hey, some good news, finally.

📌

Schoolshootings went up! Do you see any correlation?

Enough to be interesting when hopping on the intercom or talking with me pre-surgery.
