Lots of passion on this issue, so let’s hit the reset button. As a parent, I hope we can all agree we should strive to limit non medical youth use of and fetal exposure to marijuana products. I think we should prioritize doing no harm to most vulnerable. That’s my top concern.

What a joke. Nobody ever said a 6 year old should light up. I know plenty of people that smoked in college and finished top 5% of their class. What a joke!

What folks don’t realize is this ain’t the marijuana you and your friends smoked in college. Today’s marijuana has much higher THC to CBD ratio (ie more of the bad stuff and less of the potentially good), and is likely therefore much more dangerous.

DYK that no one is suggesting we give recreational drugs to kids? DYK the drinking age is 21 for a reason? DYK legalizing cannabis does not lead to an increase in underage use? Wow! Facts are important, right?

Nate, I agree, facts ARE important. So here’s a VERY important point -> NSDUH data clearly shows underage use increased in states that legalized marijuana, both for medical and adult use. Wr can’t ignore youth trends.

Now do alcohol.

We have already done it. There’s a surgeon generals warning label on the side of many bottles. And NOT or, when it comes to addressing all types of substance misuse in kids and pregnant women.

And yet many who smoke go on to be military officers, top lawyers and judges and innovate the sciences.

Some even go on to be president.
