With a woman a look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point. It's 2024, but there's still life lessons to be learned from TV's Blossom. Recently on her podcast, Myambiolik described how she talks to her kids about drugs and alcohol. Quote, while alcohol and weed may not land you in an overdose situation in the hospital, they are the most insidious things because our media tells us that they're good, smart,

wise, and okay, and we're given every excuse to numb.

I don't care if you tell me weed's not addictive, not feeling pain is addictive."

And quote, see for a generation raised on glowing screens, 24-hour news cycle, and millions

of other distractions, mentally checking out can be intoxicating.

That's why teenage marijuana use is at its highest in 30 years, leading to an increase

in mental health issues like paranoia and hallucinations. We have to help the next generation know

that it's normal to feel bad or bored sometimes. And numbness, well, that only delays the pain. I'm John

Stone Street.
