That's also part of the plan: replace tobacco with cannabis. The former enhances your cognitive abilities while the latter slowly enhances the symptoms you started smoking it for, like anxiety, paranoia, depression, irritability, etc, making you mentally unfit to cope with the exigencies of our current reality.
About ten years ago I was in Vancouver for a few-day visit and there were barely any public places you could smoke tobacco, including parks and beaches. But the air smelled like cannabis everywhere. I was extremely surprised and could not understand it. Vancouver is now the California of Canada in its wokeness, vegetarianism, loss of tradition and values, so, since the plan worked, they legalized cannabis all over Canada eventually. Unfortunately, there are many who smoke cannabis thinking they are giving the finger to "The Man", but they are actually following "his" bidding.
