That’s what’s got me wondering. Let’s just say it’s a mild undetectable high. Who’s to stop the entire country from getting stoned all the time? Kids are stoned and mom’s too stoned to notice.

What's been stopping the whole country from getting stoned all the time since the 1700s? Pot used to be perfectly legal. There's plenty of other easy ways to get high, yet somehow people manage to refrain. Alcohol and tobacco have been fully legal for a long time, yet the entire nation isn't drunk 24/7. Why not?

Comparing one kind of high to another is apples and oranges.

Each unique high is like a trip to another place or at least a different mood and mind-set for your place at the moment.

As a former drinker, I can honestly say, I didn't like that place. And I didn't like the toll the trip took on my mind and body.

When you think about it, the pleasure drug industry is just now entering the AI generation. We have only scratched the surface of the kind of inner travel that is available.

As an aside, I'm not condoning or disapproving. My opinion is irrelevant. I will say though that this new age of discovery is filled with danger.

What I am saying is that we are entering a new age of "highs." Many are going to be newly discovered or newly discovered combinations. Some synthetic, some all-natural, and some a blend of both.

To some scientists, consciousness and all its strange iterations are the new frontier.
