There’s a shift happening—and it’s not just cultural, it’s generational.
For decades, alcohol has been the default for socializing, celebrating, and coping. But Gen Z is rewriting the script. Studies show alcohol sales are steadily declining, while cannabis use—especially among young adults—is rising. And honestly? It makes sense.
In recent years, major beverage companies have reported a dip in alcohol sales, especially beer. Meanwhile, cannabis is trending upward. According to a 2023 Gallup poll, cannabis use among adults aged 18-34 has nearly doubled in the last decade. Younger generations are more conscious, more intentional—and less interested in blacking out on a random Thursday.
They’re choosing balance over excess. Wellness over wasted.
Let’s talk about it: binge drinking is still alarmingly common among college students and young adults—and it’s dangerous.
Blackouts. Alcohol poisoning. Risky behavior. Next-day anxiety. The glorification of getting “wasted” is not only outdated, it’s harmful.
Alcohol-related deaths among young people are on the rise. And for what? A foggy night you barely remember?
Cannabis offers a softer landing. It’s not about losing control—it’s about being in control. Whether it’s winding down with a microdose edible, or passing a joint with your closest friends, cannabis doesn’t come with the same crash.
No hangovers. No regrets. Just good vibes and deeper connections.
It’s not surprising that more young people are choosing cannabis as a tool to manage stress, enhance creativity, and connect more intentionally. And here’s the kicker: they’re not using it to escape reality—they’re using it to elevate it.
At Stoner Babes, we’re not just riding the wave—we’re here to lead it.
We believe it’s time to normalize choosing weed over wine, joints over shots. The “stoner” stereotype? Outdated. We’re redefining what it means to be high-functioning and cannabis-friendly.
You can be grounded, glowing, and a little lifted—without ever picking up a drink.
So here’s to the new normal.
Here’s to cannabis over chaos.
Here’s to smarter choices and softer landings.
