"Our results suggest that adolescents are particularly vulnerable to develop cognitive impairment from cannabis and that the drug, far from being harmless, as many teens and even adults are coming to believe, can have severe neurotoxic effects on the adolescent brain," lead investigator Madeline H. Meier, PhD, from Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, told Medscape Medical News.
But this is also true of alcohol, Tobacco and even certain medications. You are making a non argument because no one has said make it legal for teens.

In summary, they make their money by marijuana being illegal and have every interest in keeping it that way.
Actually, the sources are mentioned in my post, so there is no need for you to make stuff up.

It would probably even help you. Also, nobody but you calls coffee shop owners organized crime. Legality doesn't make many want hard drugs that did nor want them before. Our own govt, CIA is #1 drug dealer in the world creating more heroin addicts & killing some with nearly pure samples.

Lying is nothing new & some get very rich doing so.
No one said you have to register to buy pot in Holland, you register when you check into treatment. Cannabis users are only one link in the chain. The studies which I referred to prove that the legalization/decriminalization caused the number of crime families to skyrocket from 3 to over 90, and they brought in the human trafficking, robberies, shootings, hard drugs, extortion, murder etc with them. Be careful who you invite for the party.

I'm a Conservative, and I fully support Marijuana legalization. It is NOT the same as cocaine, meth, or even alcohol. There is no logical reason to be against it.

I feel the same way about marijuana but vote as a conservative its not a liberal issue its the common sense thing to do.The judicial system then could return to their primary function of protecting the public and locking up real criminals.

War on drugs, 'tough on crime', harsh sentencing guidelines, and death penalty are all conservative ideas, which liberals have opposed, but now some people in GOP are taking a more liberal approach to these things. I don't judge them. I agree the sentencing guidelines need to be reviewed and changed.

Marijuana does not even have to be smoked. Users can buy edible products or use a vaporizer that does not burn anything.
