If half the girls in my school were addicted to codeine, that would have been a major scandal, lives would have been ruined. This was treated more like a minor inconvenience, they all had low grade migraines they treated by popping tylenols all day long. To be honest I'd be surprised if some of them didn't fuck up their livers a bit.

Huh. Maybe there was some kind of environmental hazard in the school like mold

I honestly think it was a sign of the stress they were under. It was a private school and a lot of parents had unreasonable expectations for their children's, especially their daughters', performance.

My addiction ed for new techs that were hired with few to no actual psych qualifications is that they're almost definitely addicted to something and just happen to be lucky enough that it's legal. Common legal addictions:

nicotine
caffeine
gambling including microtransaction phone games
social media
pornography
processed sugar

I don't smoke anymore, but back when I was working as a line cook I used to smoke like a chimney. I'm real happy I stopped, my sleep took a while to get better but now it's way more restful then when I smoked. Weed is chill in moderation, not if it's your only way to relax after a long day of too many hours under high pressure.

Still get a bit of a craving every now and then, but I think it's just when I'm bored.
