Narcotics and alcohol use is also down in this generation, and I wonder if that’s the risky behavior aspect vs marijuana legalization. I’d like to see a study that broke down by state to see if there’s any correlation there.
The forbidden fruit is sweetest. If you can go get THC gummies whenever then you don’t need to grab whatever is available right now.
But I think too that Covid is a huge problem. Rave age now is people who were at a delicate phase of interpersonal development five years ago. And just hanging out in crowded places is now risky behavior.
Living in a world freshly built to cater specifically to them did strange things to Baby Boomer’s heads. COVID is going to do something equally bad to GenZ (and A) in more or less the opposite direction and I worry what it will be.
