    There’s evidence that much of the marijuana available today has substantially higher THC content than in years/ decades past, & that may present a unique risk to certain subgroups (eg young people, developing fetuses, and those w mental health concerns)->https://apnews.com/4f9b18c6ac0d4cd5a8c5ab85157ce190 …

        Further, young people especially are consuming in ways (eg via edibles, e-cigarettes, and “dabbing,”- if you’re a parent and you don’t know what dabbing is, look it up!) that can further increase the concentration of THC (the part of MJ that gets one “high”) reaching the brain.

        In short- this isn’t your parents marijuana. The product and delivery mode present unique health concerns, ESPECIALLY to developing brains (brain develops from inside moms belly, up to about age 25). #kNOwMarijuana4youth

        Today’s #marijuana plants are grown differently than in prior decades and can contain two to three times more tetrahydrocannabinol (#THC), the addictive ingredient that causes the sought-after psychoactive and mood-related effects – the marijuana high.https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/pot-and-teens-im-a-mom-and-a-doctor-heres-what-i-tell-my-own-teenagers …

        Yes, cannabis is harmful for kids. Which is why you must be 21 to consume it. Also, if we were really concerned about the kids, we'd focus more on the things they can legally consume. Like sugar.
