Last year, more middle-aged adults were binge drinking, using marijuana or consuming hallucinogens than ever before, according to a new report. Cannabis use surged among young adults under 30, alongside historic rates of vaping, as well.

    Back then it was for fun. Now it’s for the numbing effects.

      i suppose I can see how that’d be helpful. i personally have discovered that as I get older I need less numbing - quality of life has improved quite a bit so perhaps thats why? not sure - sample size of one & all

        Lil bit that a lot of us really are starting to lose hope on improvement ever happening.

        I know quite a lot of people just taking things day by day without ever having an opportunity to think about things like retirement - or shit even owning property in their life

          yeah I can see that - myself, I’m building an RV (vanlife on steroids) so I can gtfo of the city and reduce my cost of living by a large percentage (and probably retire early).
