As with all things, there are probably many interdependent reasons for this drop, but the one for my use is that weed is just too strong these days. When I was 16 in the 90s, weed was mild, bags were filled with seeds, and worst case you'd get some dry mouth and maybe lightheaded after passing a couple joints around or hitting a gravity bong in your friend's parent's sink. Now you take a couple hits of some joint that turns out is 25%+ THC and dipped in kief and you're taking a cold shower wondering if you're a waste of life (you're not). It's just not fun, and the people I know that love weed are likely addicted and hiding from their feelings. As an adult my favorite weed experiences have been hanging with locals in Jamaica smoking some regular outdoors sitting on the beach trying to understand the patois. The opposite of walking into an LED flooded store in Manhattan or whatever that store that thinks they're the Apple store is in LA that gives me migraines. I feel like the industry got into an arms race and forgot that weed is to relax amongst friends, not get blasted into oblivion.
