I'm going to go ahead and propose another theory: drug-use didn't decline at all during the pandemic, but when reporting of it is left to the already half-absent parents not much gets reported. And now why its gone down recently? Many factors I'm sure... maybe some highlights would be increased work-at-home means more-present parents? Maybe people are starting to see that good solid Christian values might not be so bad after all. List goes on.
Reagan tried the same thing with the Grace Commission. It all went away after the Borg tried to assassinate him.
Once DC gets back on its feet after the inaugural the burocrats will dig in ....drag their feet, blue screen their computers and stop answering their phones and email for the "duration" until Elon et al get tired of knocking all day on stupid and go back out to flyover country.

I think you're absolutely right in saying the thing that changed was the reporting, not the act. .
I'm just curious, does anyone think Trump is serious about cutting the Department of Education?
