It's remarkable to me that many of the top-level comments on this story are all positing that something (i.e. the damn phones) must have replaced drug use and we're just not accounting for it. And if it isn't the damn phones, then it must be that the kids are just too scared of modern-day drugs and the dangers lurking within.
I'm not saying it's not phone addiction, or fentanyl in the weed, but is it really that hard to believe that the youths just don't want to do drugs as much as your generation did?
- throwaway_ahfmn 2y agoDrugs of one kind or another have never been unpopular. So yes, it is hard to believe.
- nozzlegear 2y agoI guess I'm primed to believe it, because I'm a teetotaler who's never done drugs and never drank a bit of alcohol in my entire life. I'd like to believe that the younger generations are more like me. Of course, I'm just one data point, and a millennial so not even the article's subject demographic.
