I'm a music therapist, and since I think music can do good, the opposite has to be true as well. Really appreciate your making this point so well. It's sort of amazing the power of music is so under appreciated, when we can all feel it if we pay attention.
The more I look around, it only reinforces Cerno's statements. I live in the midwest, since covid I know of 5 vape shops that sell the Delta-8 THC in my town. Side note if anyone wants another alternative for music, look into videogame soundtracks. There are volumes of stuff without lyrics that carry a vibe; heroism, somberness, joy, transcendence, its all in there. Plus videogame music is specifically curated on the basis of you engaging in activity while it plays so its great for background or setting an atmosphere.
I know there are many stories like this...but I lost my college best friend to pot (when it set off clinical depression). He's still living at home with his parents. Last week, my favorite cousin died at aged 62. His pot habit set off a psychotic incident in his late 20's. He never moved out of his parents's home. While I know these are anecdotes, there are too many of them. I'm no angel. I smoked pot when I was young, but I quit after a couple of years. I hate pot, and what it does to people.
I had the same experience with rap / hip-hop, lost all interest in it, polar opposite or my late teens and early 20s.
Well written, thank you.

I know a teen who got hooked on THC vaping - sent him off the deep end and into rehab/psych ward after he attacked his family.
