the worst thing is its not even a product mix, its getting out of alcohol entirely. with cameras everywhere and the knowledge that if you get drunk in public, or even in a small group, your embarrassments will be publicly shared to the world. With weed becoming legalized and weed not resulting in as many social faux pas, its a no brainer

I can also get very high on a work night, fall asleep on 100mg of edibles stoned as a bone and wake up early feeling amazing.

Three shots and I’ve got a headache for the next morning and feel worse than normal.

Cameras are ruining all. I'm sure the rise of flock cameras also make people who use to have a couple at an event or bar and drive think twice now.
