Not just a generation. Habitual drug use is a cultural aspect of america now. Everyone uses drugs, everyone. We can exclude alcohol and tobacco since they're older versions of basically the same cultural phenomenon, everyone smokes weed or uses opioids or meth or xanax or something now, from a doctor or otherwise. Americans abuse drugs, that can be stated almost unequivocally at this point.

- betwixthewires 5y agoI never said this was unique to Americans.
- collegeburner 5y agoI think many people use but it's actually less a cultural pressure than in the past. In generations past it was always expectation that somebody drinks, go back a bit further and smokes too. It's normalized to use most drugs to an extent, especially weed and party drugs, but it's also more okay to not even drink.
