Two things:

Even the “cool kids” are staying inside and using their phones all day. Cool used to mean you were at the party, now it just means you have a high snapchat score.

Other thing is genuine fear of accidental fentanyl consumption. They’re making fake Xans with fentanyl in them, fentanyl is being found in coke powder. Plenty of people aren’t taking the risk with street drugs anymore. Jelly Roll said so in an interview, he’s a big recreational drug user but doesn’t trust the supply anymore. Good job dealers!

This is a huge contributor, I think. Many people at risk for drug use have older friends/family who have overdosed on fentanyl -- "accidental poisoning" is the leading cause of death for Americans age 20-44 and #2 for ages 15-24; virtually all of those deaths are from opiates.
