        He didn't say it shouldn't be legal, he said, just like alcohol, it doesn't belong in the hands of the young.

        But he’s not concerned at all about the availability of alcohol to all of those youngsters Ironically speaking how his family made all of their money as illegal alcohol dealers

        Rather then 'wonder', look at the evidence. Reduced opioid use. Better control over quality and distribution.

        Any smoking is bad for one's lungs.Children will grow up w/ parents who are high, not to mention the problem w/ second-hand smoke. It will permeate all of society,affecting every aspect of our lives. It's not a substance that shld be legal or readily available. It's still a drug.

        Keep in mind that marijuana is available in many forms not just smoking. Also it helps for many medical conditions. For example my mom with MS and glaucoma eats some brownie at night. Helps not just her eyes but her spasms, pain and mental health issues due to MS.

        Yes, it's a drug, and should only be used as medicine for those that really need it, just like any other medicine. Misuse of it will not be good for anyone or society as a whole.

        Good point. Often ppl who complain that marijuana is a drug don't realize that where it is legal there is lower abuse of opiods. In addition it is far less damaging than alcohol while at the same time actually helps many medical conditions.

        Same as alcohol. Legalization, education and treatment. Something could be well regulated, without it being illegal.

        What about alcohol @RepJoeKennedy? Which is more addictive than heroin? ALCOHOL! What about opiods Joe? Most kids get them from their parents' stash and then start buying them...ALCOHOL IS A HUGE PROBLEM JOE. How many hazing incidents with cannabis end in death?

        His family knows a lot about alcohol. That’s how they made their money during prohibition. Also how they got the Illinois vote for JFK. His dad worked with the mob
