Is weed destroying our young black kings before they even get a chance to grow up?

[Matt504]

Got big over the pandemic and now it's a staple. People keep sleeping on the thing kids are gravitating to constantly being negative

Because we keep deflecting to the parents instead of considering that we might have some cultural problems.

Yeah I ended up ight too

Life is good but I look back and wouldn’t want my son in the future doing that at 13

To be real though, I think if you're honest with your kids about the world, they will avoid a lot of the pitfalls that affect many of their peers

Parents try too hard to shield their kids from the world by using lies and misdirection

Children are getting smarter and smarter with every generation of humanity, and if you keep blaming shyt on "the media" (radio, then TV, now social media) then you're just trying to sidestep the greater issue, which is communication with your kids.

Also the fact that a lot of people probably just should not have kids

These are the goofies they look up to

Most of the dudes I know that started smoking in middle/hs are a little off. I wouldn’t call them slow, but they’re all aloof as hell and have a lack of situational awareness.

Nothing to do with trying to be cool, they just want to get high. The kids who don’t mess with weed stay away from it and even if they do get peer pressed into taking a hit they know if it’s something they want to do or not.

Wait till the get they hands on some Balencizaza. It’s really gon be a wrap

 

[goatmane]

we all know the truth, but the black community would rather not admit it or deflect and talk about alcohol

Weed, drill music and celebrities got no influence on the youth

 

[Sad Bunny]

I don't smoke weed so I'll say this. It's not the weed that's the problem, it's the culture associated with weed that is. Young people only do it cause they think it's cool and that's what grown folks do. Unfortunately there are a lot of adults that play that role.

This new weed different. People be addicted and stuck on stupid.

 

[Sad Bunny]

But alcohol is most definitely worse in every fixture you can think of, I don’t think there’s much of argument to be honest.

It can be worse but people abuse weed because they think it’s so harmless. Drinking every weekend is better than smoking everyday.

Data bears this out, weed is much stronger than it was in the past. I think weed is an incredible tool and teacher but putting it into the hands of kids that have no guidance and are also in an altered state while consuming anti-Black messaging is a terrible combination.

 

[humminbird]

yeah it's getting a little of hand
do you really need to smoke everyday?

My brother is addicted. He acts like a retard when high. It’s annoying. He is lazier too. And will be stuck at a warehouse job IMO.

My other friend is an addict too. shyt I know a few. I can’t be in that state of mind daily. At all.

“I can quit whenever I want”

I am able to walk around after dislocating my kneecap this morning. I primarily used weed for the last two weeks to help with the pain. It worked but the reason why I dislocated by kneecap is because I was acting a fool with friends while we were getting high. It's a conundrum.

If you're talking about Rap culture I agree...that mask/drug shyt is from there. We not in the hood pushing this shyt on ourselves like that, tbh.
