They mention cost of living a lot in the article. They also point out that there's way lower drug use. On top of cost of living I bet a lot of people are getting their escapism from games and Internet instead.

drugs have also gotten more expensive :(

An ounce of weed is like $50 these days, a fraction of when I was a teenager. Just blaze.

Maybe where you live.

Weed is cheap as hell in Michigan. I wish it was true in Illinois. I'm in Indiana, where it's illegal, but getting weed from Illinois is a 30-minute drive. However, it's much more expensive and you're limited to 14 grams as a non-state resident. Getting weed from Michigan is much, much cheaper and there's no limit, but it is a 5-hour drive through Indiana for me and I'm not driving that far back through Indiana with a shit ton of weed in my car.

I just buy mine online. No driving needed.

I buy online too. And then I drive to the dispensary in Illinois and pick it up. How do they get it to you if you're in a state where it's not legal?

I buy via https://stnrcreations.com/ Get them delivered straight to my house. Delta 8 is federally legal, so that's what you can purchase from the regardless of state. Where I live, all the smoke/vape shops also sell a bunch of delta 8 products. But I've preferred the stnr brand over most things I've tried.

Sorry, I don't trust that synthetic stuff. I'll stick with the real thing.

Same, order online and it's in my mailbox in two days.

And more tainted. As young millennial, I feel like I missed the hay day of un-fentanyl’d drugs.

I think the fact that almost anything might be laced with a lethal dose of fentanyl these days could also be a contributor. A lot of drugs are just white powder… makes it hard to know what’s in it in a party setting.

Always test your stash.

They mentioned a party setting.

I don't know about you, but I'm not bringing test strips to every party, cause I'm not automatically assuming that every party will have drugs. Drugs at a party are the kind of thing that randomly shows up when you least expect it, so it's not always easy to be prepared.

Always have a Guinea pig no one will miss tagalong with you to parties

I bet a lot of people are getting their escapism from games and Internet instead.

More and more people are getting addicted to computer/smartphone games, porn and online gambling. Less do alcohol. Tobacco seems to be constant.
