With recreational marijuana now legal in 24 states, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is moving to reclassify the drug to a less dangerous category under the Controlled Substances Act.
This comes as daily marijuana users now outnumber daily drinkers for the first time ever, according to a new report from researchers at Carnegie Mellon University.
The change in preference is largely being driven by young people. Of people aged 18 to 24, 69% prefer marijuana to alcohol, according to a 2022 survey by New Frontier Data, a cannabis research firm.
Work 'N' Roll, a shared workspace in downtown New York City, is among the organizations hoping to capitalize on the trend among young workers. For as little as $15, guests can toke while they type.
"Here we smoke, because it enhances our work. That's our secret sauce," Matthew Everett, a Work 'N' Roll patron, said.
"I transitioned over into cannabis cause I saw that there's limitless possibilities with the flavors," he added. "And I found like, hey, I don't have a hangover the next day, too."
Marijuana sales among Gen Z women in particular have more than doubled since the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in 2020, according to Headset, a cannabis analytics firm.
At Work 'N' Roll, alcohol is prohibited, but it's perfectly fine to bring your own cannabis or have it delivered to your door.
But not everyone sees the uptick in marijuana use as positive, including addiction psychiatrist Colin Reiff.
Reiff points to a recent National Institute of Health study that associates schizophrenia with excessive cannabis use among some young people, especially young men, at an age when their brains are still maturing.
"The legalized age for cannabis should be around 33 years old, when people are outside the window of developing schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and a lot of other things," Reiff said. "Or most certainly it should be after 26, once the prefrontal cortex is done developing."
Cannabis has also become more potent over the years. The average level of THC, the main compound in marijuana that triggers its psychoactive effects, jumped from 4% in 1995 to more than 15% in 2021, a four-fold increase, according to the latest figures from the University of Mississippi's potency monitoring project.
But for Everett, those numbers don't tell the whole story.
"Over time, as I started educating my parents more, they started to understand that cannabis was less destructive to my lifestyle than alcohol, and I even got them to try cannabis," Everett said.
When asked how that went, Everett said, "They enjoyed it. My mom, she had cancer and it helped to alleviate some of her symptoms, and for my dad's part, he thought it was pretty fun."
For Golda Moldavsky and Ellis Sudak, two other Work 'N' Roll patrons in their twenties, alcohol just isn't missed.
"I never thought about it not being here, honestly," Moldavsky said.
"I don't miss it," Sudak said.

The downfall of America. Every time it gets legalized the area becomes more amoral, mor crime ridden, and homelessness rates jump - and use of harder drugs increases.
I just found out which game I'm going to for the tickets I won in the raffle. I will be sitting 3 rows behind the Patriots sidelines in Section 108 for the Pats/Jets game 10/27.
I've been in email contact with the guy who donated the tickets. He apparently has 4 tickets because he said he'll see us at the game. This guy is about to become my best buddy whether he likes it or not. I want to be on his list for people to call when he can't use the tickets in the future. I'm going to be schmoozing up with him the whole game.

Talking to my doctor today, I found out that besides changing my yearly check up to every 3 months, I also have to limit my internet time. That means for the next couple of weeks, I will be posting very little. I need time for my elbow to heal.

In the Dallas suburbs we tend to use Redwood looks nice with a backyard. But as Chevy has stated what's the purpose?
I was looking at the menu for the marijuana dispensary to put an order in to pick up tomorrow. As I was going through it, something caught my eye. They have some flower listed as "Acapulco Gold". This absolutely floored me. I haven't seen or even heard about Acapulco Gold in at least 45 years.
I remember buying a lid of it for $20.00 and thinking that I had overpaid. Most lids, which is a baggie filled with weed, were $15.00 at the time. After I got to smoking it though I was thrilled with it and figured it was well worth the extra $5.00.
I haven't been able to find it again , until now!! I ordered an ounce to pick up later today. I'm as giddy as a school girl!!!

Organic grown crutches ... interesting.
This week long wait for the NBA finals is a bit much.
"The recalled cucumbers were shipped in bulk cartons … directly to retail distribution centers, wholesalers, and food service distributors in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia," the FDA's report noted.

So, after boycotting the Red Sox this year because the owner is a cheap prick who cares more about money than winning, I've broken down. My friend convinced me that we should take in a game at Fenway. We usually go to 4-5 games a year, but haven't gone as of yet.
Well I went to the website where I get tickets at half price and bought 3 for the Red Sox/Mariners game July 30th. One ticket for me, one each for him and his girlfriend. I'll be 3 rows from the field down by Pesky Pole.
We've been going to games together for the last 20 years and he didn't want to break that tradition. I guess I gave in because I don't know how much longer I can do this.
