    No child should use #marijuana/ products non medically. Not safe for the developing brain & affects learning and memory. Possible short-term effects are: slower reaction times, anxiety, fear, distrust, and a faster heart rate. Over time, it can ⬆️ risk for addiction. #NDAFW

        Dr. Tishler, I think you need to ask America’s communities that question. 1/3 youth who vape are vaping marijuana, states that OKed medicinal use saw ⬆️ in youth rec use, in midst of opioid epidemic, many with opioid use disorders say marijuana use was part of their journey.

        Whilst I agree with your general outlook on the subject given the option of interminable chronic fits and pain. I'd take the medicinal cannabis option.
