-Short Attention Span Theater-

Teen drug and alcohol use dropped at record rate in 2021 after remote learning forced kids to stay home and limited their access to illicit substances

2021-12-18

Imagine if they made use illegal!
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Substance use among American teens dropped 'significantly' among teens in 2021

Drop is the largest on record since the annual National Institute on Drug Abuse survey began in 1975

Experts speculate widespread remote learning may have limited access to drugs

Two-thirds of teens in the survey took the poll online while learning from home

They may have been more reluctant to be honest while taking the survey at home
So possibly none of this is true, especially given all the other reports about significantly increased drug and alcohol use overall during the shutdown and significantly increased anxiety and depression in schoolchildren? Got it.
