Yes, true. But I don’t think legalizing it is going to turn the entire nation into high zombies. There’s nothing that special about weed, compared to other drugs (esp alcohol) that leads it to be nearly as big of an impact on society. Sure, you can’t really OD on it, but not that many people are going to imbibe that much anyway. Just like alcohol, sure, lots of people get drunk, but how many actually die from alcohol poisoning? Not that many.
Yes, there’s going to be lots of new and ‘better’ ways to get high, but it’s always going to be like that. You just have to be smart enough to not be stupid. And make sure your kids are smart enough as well.
My point was there are new drugs on their way (similar to or even derivatives of psilocybin, LSD, and DHT). If these drugs are indeed portals to other dimensions, there will be some new, never-before-seen, experiences.
This will leave a mark on humanity (perhaps good as well as bad).
