As gravity dictates, whatever goes up must come down. During parties, we expose our bodies to an avalanche of stimuli that, once everything fades, leaves a mark not just on the body but on our state of consciousness.

The THC-infused gummy you popped after work, the boutique pre-roll you grabbed from your local dispensary… They each come with an invisible environmental bill. Like most things these days.
