...we're gonna have to re-evaluate old concepts of free speech and democracy.
Everyone's on anti depressants/sleepers/speed, the chuds are blasting testosterone out their ears until they stroke, weed is everywhere and as potent as heroin.
Add the perfect dopamine delivery system, a political internet economy modeled on the addictive technology of vegas slot machines.
It's gonna have an effect on the national psyche.
Is it a partial explanation for Q?
Shout out to the divorced, biker, small business tyrant, dad...caught with test injectables and thc edibles, and guns, after the Capitol. Just the only man for the moment.

edit: gotta step away for now. will come back to this. Feels like this post was misunderstood, or I just didn't make enough sense. Hope it won't make things awkward when i slide into selected PMs asking for a plug 😀
i read through the thread and it more feels that you're personally skeptical/afraid of drug use and that's manifesting in the way you analyze social phenomena. i get it, i've seen people do a number of wild things under the influence, but i'd take care to read up on the psychopharmacology. reefer madness is long discredited, and outside very rare cases of cannabis triggering an underlying disorder (has more to do with how early you start smoking frequently, which prevents the neural development of barriers to psychosis ), the general effect of heavy cannabis use on the population is mild and probably sedative if anything at all
if you'd like to make an immediate dent in the damage that substances do, you could try volunteering to do some kind of harm reduction for a harder substance (heroin, alcohol, meth, etc.) that is hurting your community. you've also mentioned education in your post and there are ways to get involved there too
Definitely not shy of drug use in any way lol. Thought that was clear enough tbh. Did you read every post? Realise there's a lot. Cannabis was one of many factors I referenced.
