So cool. I feel like I missed my chance unless they tour again. I've seen Steven Wilson live but not Porcupine Tree. Although he still snuck in a few Ptree classics like Lazarus

Insane. The good news is that data you shared was from 2010, and we've been in a steady decline since. Down to 40% in 2018 (Pew). And according to the NCDAS in 2020, "over the last decade, arrests made for the possession of marijuana have dropped by 58%."

Gotta start somewhere. Just remember where we came from!

That's fair. Agreed, I'd love to see that stat. For me, tracking public perception over time is helpful and insightful in its own way. For example: Anticipating voting trends and legislation.

It's also worth noting there are several barriers for effective cannabis research to happen, even with all the changes in legalization, production, and access. Here's an article from 2021 about research challenges, but progress has been made recently

Same. Still would rather shotgun cannabis smoke over tobacco

Agreed. I had to go back and correct my title after uploading the image, assumed it was mack n nack

Not quite sure how they got the 79%. Looking at the 2021 data for two questions:

• How safe is smoking one marijuana joint a day versus one cigarette a day?
  • As safe or safer than tobacco totals to 75.5%
• How does secondhand smoke from marijuana compare to secondhand smoke from tobacco?
  • As safe or safer than tobacco totals to 77.5%

Any bands you'd recommend that help scratch that earlier Opeth itch? Ne Obliviscaris is one for me

Absolutely agreed. Sounds like a totally different band. I simply love Mikael's voice before he started adding a lot of flair(?) to his clean vocals, and before he stopped growling entirely

Let me know what you think! ‘Leaving Your Body Map’ and ‘Bath’ are companion albums. Definitely recommend giving both a listen
