    Unlikely. Getting high is more often associated with realizing that shit is fucked.

      Okay, fair point that racial equity and access to opportunity has increased significantly in most of the country. Gender equality has come a long way as well, though it’s also a “ha ha you have to work now too and your family is still worse off than it was, good luck with paying for day care”

      Which was a huge bullshit injustice which need correcting and hurt a lot of people.

      But now we’re at the point where skin color doesn’t matter. Only bank balances matter. And you probably don’t have a high enough one to afford a house.
