(1/6) For today’s #TuesdayThoughts I’m shining a light on #marijuana use and its damaging effects on the developing brain. As I have said before—this is NOT your mother’s marijuana—today’s marijuana is at least 3-5x more potent.pic.twitter.com/yRX1d4PMVg
(2/6) As a father, and as the nation’s doctor, I am concerned with the number of young adults who have reported using marijuana. Over 9 million youth (12-25 years old) reported #marijuana use in the past month. #NoCannabis4Kids
(3/6) Alarmingly, while youth use of all other illicit substances (except e-cigs) is 
, cannabis use was stable last year. This stagnation—especially w/ 
#THC potency and delivery is NOT a success. We must take action to safeguard our youth. #NoCannabis4Kids
(4/6) #DYK in states where #marijuana is legal youth believe marijuana is LESS dangerous than other illicit drugs? This misconception coupled w/ access & potency is troubling. I encourage all parents, educators & health professionals to read my advisoryhttp://bit.ly/SGMJAdvisory
(5/6) Studies have also shown that #marijuana use in pregnancy is associated with adverse outcomes for the child, including low birth weight. Every pregnant mother wants their child to be born healthy and harm free. #MJBrainEffects #NoCannabis4Kidspic.twitter.com/RFrM9KSEfc
(6/6) My advisory is clear: #Marijuana (or #cannabis to some) contains higher rates of #THC, which can cause intoxication & other developmental harms. NO such intoxicating substance—not alcohol, tobacco, nor illicit opioids—should be used during pregnancy or adolescence.pic.twitter.com/K1wqWd2KzO
It needs to be legalized.
The government destroys too many lives by locking people up over harmless weed.
Marijuana IS NOT Heroin!
Decriminalize it! #LegalizeIt
Sigh..,,you are still wrong with this issue sir.

Maybe if you actually look at real research you will know how beneficial it is. Legalize it like alcohol and have education for teens on the risk!!
Reefer madness. No study claiming brain damage from cannabis has ever been replicated. How about shining a light on alcohol which we know causes severe brain damage, fetal alcohol syndrome, death by overdose, cirrhosis of the liver, pancreatitis, etc.
