Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

2025+: People turning to drugs to escape reality.
Can't wait to see a YoY graph for alcohol use throughout the [modern] '20s
May be trending down due to marijuana being more normalized but I agree, would definitely be interesting to see!
True true. I wish weed didn't give me so much anxiety. I used to smoke a lot of it but when I quit for a while (right around Canadian legalisation unfortunately) and came back to it, it started causing me paranoia and stuff
Have you tried a higher cbd lower thc strain?
I have! At low THC doses it's okay but there's something still not quite the same about it as when I used to smoke a half-oz a week 😅. I think I most liked cannabis while having a tolerance which is unfortunate because you need to smoke often to have one...
Power through it to feel normal again. You got this, bro.
Yea in mainland Europe alcohol usage is going down but cocaine (not sure but probably cannabis too) is going up
Oh, you sweet summer child.
Reading this as I pack a bowl and contemplate which version of society I want to build a simulation of today (medieval, modern, or futuristic?)
