Haha yeah it’s called Bamba, it’s a very delicious snack and my parents said they would let me eat a bunch of it when I was younger for this very reason. You can get it in the states.
The university I attend is considered moderately competitive (~35% acceptance rate). Each year since the year I was admitted it has only gotten more difficult to receive automatic admission (top percentile students). The highly coveted classes at this university are reserved for students that require the course in order to graduate on time, because the demand is generally much higher than the supply of professors to fulfill that demand. This means you cannot take relevant courses across departments. I get the impression that these "elite" universities are busting at the seams and can barely cater to the influx of students they are receiving each year.
Some of the longer posts about social justice that I would read on Tumblr when I was regularly using the app offered some insight into the minds and feelings of marginalized groups that were able to voice their opinions vehemently due to the anonymity that Tumblr provided. It was a safe space and an echo chamber, in that widely unaccepted opinions were harshly criticized as bigotry and removed from the discourse. I think it gave a lot of people the opportunity to vent to a group of generally caring, considerate, sometimes single-minded, and occasionally misguided teenagers and young adults when these people felt that they had no other outlet. It might not have produced the most inspired arguments or conversations, but at the very least Tumblr provided a cohesive community.
If you manage to utilize cannabis to enhance your life, hats off to you. We can all admit to pursuing that, regardless of the substance of choice (mine being coffee and occasionally, nicotine). That being said, while cannabis use is more or less one of the safer addictions a person can develop, I think it is important to note its potential as a 'reverse gateway' drug. It normalizes smoking and has been found to increase the risk of future nicotine dependency in young adults who had not been exposed to either beforehand. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16185213
Contradictory to this, some people claim that cannabis has helped them quit nicotine by providing a somewhat safer alternative. The studies investigating this are mostly looking into the motives for smoking cigarettes and pot. A friend of mine has been smoking cigarettes for over a decade and has been slowly replacing the tobacco with weed, now only smoking joints rather than spliffs.
