Your comment made me wonder about generational differences when it comes to drugs of choice, since psychedelics seemingly fell out of favor there for a bit while cocaine took over. I wonder how each generation's drug use affects their consciousness and such. Some random data:

The 90's were rather low from a drugs usage pov. Wonder if a sense of security and happiness play into this.

Was there no drug use in 1989?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Yep, that was the only year we won the war on drugs.

Cocain is to expensive in this economy

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LSD is $5 for 1, $10 for two and 3 for free!

You're taking the three all at once right now.

Is it not a thing where you're at?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No man i live in a place where drugs are so expensive.

Remote Australia isn't great for it

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah that checks out.

[–] mx_smith@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder what drugs they included in each category? I know there was a lot of ecstasy back in the 90’s .

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm guessing it's in hallucinogens which would explain the 90s

Created using Google lens to extract the text and then pasted it into https://www.highcharts.com/chat/gpt/

Nice work. What if it was a line graph with x as the year, y as the percentage, and each line representing the different drug class? Would that be too many lines?

That's great! Its not perfect but it quickly shows that cocaine and pain killers are the real ones making moves. Hallucinogens don't appear to have changed much.

A stacked area chart would also work great.

Wasn't much work tbh.

i just copy pasted the js back to highcharts chat gt and told it to change it to a line graph : https://jsfiddle.net/bra1sf03/

It might need to be told to put the time on the x axis though 😂

Iduno if I'd go so far as to call it beautiful 😂

Also looks like chat gpt "fixed" the gap for 1989 and I failed to notice... Oops.
