There is a little more to it than just the possibility of drugs. It started back in the 60's.
My generation----my generation the kings of protesting and the drug culture, they wrote
the book on it. They also wrote the book on debt and the use of plastic. They wrote the
book on computers plus software and spawned the cell phone. They later became yuppies
and started the super consumer phase. They are the ones who wrote the book on modern
greed. They soon learned that fighting big brother was a losing cause, cut off their pony
tail, lost the ty-dyed T shirt, ditched the micro bus, took a bath, bought a suite and a real
car. They did all that and managed to have kids popping out, telling them {just say no to
drugs}. All the while smoking pot in the wee hours of the night, never lost that habit.

Their kids got cars bought for them in high school then it was the thought everyone needs
to go to college. It's where disciplining a kid in school came to an end. Kids under 18
suddenly weren't allowed to work if they wanted to. So they didn't learn the value of a
buck--mom and dad have a money tree. Then add just a touch of social media and Vi-Ola
a generational mess cooking in a pot that was just on simmer--boiled into what is our work
force today. Buy him a phone at 10 years old and ruin his neck from looking down, that
will keep him quiet.

The Greatest generation bought a house, raised a family in that house and died in that
house, then along came boomer son who sold the house to use it as a piggy bank,
and the rest is truly history. There have been many many articles written about this
subject.

When the silver tsunami started about 10 years ago, and not just a coincidence the
sales of pot climbed like a tsunami on a shoreline. No this problem started way back,
I was there I saw it develop.
