nbd, just huge increases in how many american young adults are high or tripping, i'm sure it's fine and progress is leading us to a joyful utopia nida.nih.gov/news-events/ne…
since 2011, the share of young adults using marijuana *almost every day* has almost doubled, from 6% to 11%.
even if marijuana has no longer term effects, that's still a huge increase in the total person hours spent essentially useless to others or to your own self-improvement

increasingly when i talk to groups of young people and they ask about keys to success i really emphasize they need to stop doing all the drugs and the drinking and the porn and the games. stop. maybe low-to-moderate doses are in principle fine, but you have no capability to stop.
daily marijuana and daily alcohol
more mj, but not less alcy

good news is less cigarettes. so, longer lives.
bad news is, nicotine at least makes you smarter and you lose weight. marijuana just makes you dumb and hungry.

in fact on some level, our shift from a nicotine society to a cannabis society seems like something somebody should have a #take about
other drugs, no major change.
but seriously, i think almost everybody wildly overestimates their own level of self-control and agency, and that virtually everything we do is habit forming. so have good habits, not bad ones.
seriously though! i'm a great case of this! which is why i deleted twitter from my phone!

quick note: the evidence marijuana does short term harm to cognitive ability is growing. long term remains hard to say due to little data. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
but over time as we get more evidence, the science is showing *more* harms of marijuana, not fewer.
effects are more severe among adolescents: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
I get the case for making marijuana legal. But it should still be socially stigmatized! It's bad!
Alcohol too! However much you drink, drinking less is almost always better.
i would suggst the difference issocial media is at least social!
