I work in K12. The amount of kids who are trying drugs at a younger age is massively higher than when I was in high school 20 years ago.

Yep. It’s crazy and not in a good way. 20 years ago the edgy kids smoked pot and not much worse. Now there’s kids literally doing cocaine in bathrooms of high schools. Pot is not only normalized, it’s almost encouraged among teenagers now.

I’m a pothead to an extreme degree and I keep telling kids to not be like me.
