Generational Drug Use

It could be from recent incentive to use psychedelics for therapeutic practice, which has also been the case for MDMA and Ketamine therapies. The therapy projects could be considered publicly controversial if any of the acid casualty cases were resurfaced. They could retort that the external circumstances of acid-taking in the 60s was what resulted in negative experiences (i.e., dehydration, large rowdy crowds, little to no precautions taken by the user), but it wouldn't take in public opinion. Same controversy would arise if ketamine experiences like the one described by Jim Goad were propagated enough.

Dissociative-Anesthetic "psychotherapeutic" value is reported by people who drink 2+ bottles of Robitussin binightly. Meanwhile, everyone rightly disregards people's claims that daily drunkenness is "good for them". Maybe the doctor IM'd you with 50 mg of pure Ketamine. Either way, the "antidepressant" effects of the high wear off with the high. I've yet to see a person who's ingested ANY "hard" drug come out better on the other side.

Recently saw someone have a full breakdown from acid. I believe he had to go to the hospital etc. etc. Saw him again afterwards, he had ingested more acid. Was extolling the virtues of what you can "learn" from acid and what he had personally learned. He spent most of the night muttering incoherently in a corner from what I saw.

Psychedelic drugs are traps for the vast majority of the population, and for those who are equipped for it, it is a temporary thing.

The feeling of enlightenment, as cheap as it is, captures people easily. It is probably similar to how the aesthetic and ritual of a church or cult temple might capture people easily.

Ketamine seems popular these days as well, although I do not know why. Cocaine will always be popular as long as the world is as it is. Heroin/opiates of whatever form will always be popular because they are the most natural pure euphoric drugs for humans.

potentially interesting article from weev on white-targetted malicious cocaine additives.

I think some psychoactive drugs could be put to positive use by intelligent and discerning people. Adderall can be useful if you need to cram lots of information or blow through a large number of menial tasks in a short period of time, as long as you realize that, while on it, your thoughts are going to be lacking complexity and nuance. Likewise, benzos can be good for high-pressure situations where you need to stay calm and composed, which might be difficult if you are particularly sensitive and inhibited. Opiates can be good for pain relief, etc. I think this is another area where intelligent people suffer because of niggers and retards.

Psychedelics are also a different matter, that probably deserves its own thread here. The problem I have with them isn't that they open demonic portals. The classic psychedelics seem to work by performing a kind of factory reset on parts of the psyche (hence why they are also useful for brainwashing). They also often seem to have vaguely positive effects, such as breaking a person out of their neuroses or leading them to devote themselves to something higher. The problem is that it is unearned wisdom - you don't truly learn anything from taking a drug, and such a person l won't know how to avoid lapsing back into the same habits that gave rise to their neuroses in the first place. Refinement requires constant, vigilant maintenance over one's tastes, and psychedelics don't do this, yet they provide the genuine feeling of having broken out of the neurotic cage of modern life. Even worse, for someone who already is refined, they can cause unnecessary stress and confusion.   

Anyways, with regard to the OP, I'd say Zoomer drug culture has to be considered in relation to decaying psyche of the average person, and other related developments like therapeutic morality. Even when Zoomers take stimulants, I think it is more often an attempt to forcibly affect a certain lifestyle (like grindset striverism, or Xanax to simulate being an uninhibited nigger), than anything like joy. And I think you must be both profoundly miserable and self-loathing to consider taking SSRIs.

My roommate and his girlfriend use delta 8 all the time, maybe three or four times a week with one or two of those times being a big dose, and I've definitely noticed some changes. They've both gained a decent bit of weight, although neither (especially the girlfriend) were in shape in the first place, and they both seem to generally be more careless, even when they're sober. The roommate was always pretty neat in the past, but now he regularly leaves shit lying around and wears dirty clothes pretty often. The only positive is that his anxiety seems to be a bit better. That's just one example though, I've heard of a number of other people who've taken it who had really bad panic attacks and took a while to recover.

I never noticed the generational aspect until recently when my mom said something about how her friend's son was "struggling with weed." Nobody my age really talks about it that way. They aren't exactly pro-drugs but everything besides meth and herion/fentanyl aren't viewed any differently from alcohol or excessive gaming. I guess the best analogy would be covid, liberals treated it like the black plague and conservatives viewed it more like the common cold. I know who I agree with in that case, but I'm not as confident about drugs. It's hard to think the zoomer view is healthy, but it's also hard to care when most people don't really do anything difficult or important.

I've seen a lot of people my age become obese in the span of one to two years, just from using weed. These were people who, in high school, were good wrestlers (& other sports-playing of course), slim feminine figures, everyone had a freer grace in their movements. I think somewhere on the archive it was said that people atrophy after high school, which is especially true here, and the weed use is often atrophy by choice. It's disturbing to see people lose their spirit gradually, be it alcohol or weed.
