And yet while you folks make jokes about it, more and more teens with serious pot problems are showing up at AA meetings. Fortunately they also have this to turn to https://www.marijuana-anonymous.org/
What is this site? And why are you talking about today's teens. Most have been smoking pot forever and there are no serious problems with them.
Or they may end up leaving their kids in the car......huh? Oh ya, I have a kid.....where did I put him? Gosh am I high or what??????

I'll be curious to see how parenting changes, after all 50 states legalize pot, maybe for the better or for maybe the worse. It sure will make for an interesting long term study. Combining Americans with legal weed consumption will either be a great idea or a really stupid one.
I wonder if parents will be allowed to smoke it in the home or car with their kids in there. Maybe the kids will chill out and it will take care of their ADHD symptoms. Only time will tell on this one. Now that it's becoming legal we will finally be able to study all the issues that come with smoking pot daily.
People smoking pot have flown under the radar because of legality issues. Now we will finally get to see how it effects families and users. I hear they are excited to finally be able to study people who smoke frequently.
Be serious. Legalizing weed isn't going to just change everyone's minds and make them want to use it over night, and that isn't what is being said and you know it.
Weed being legal will normalize it, and make it more socially acceptable to future generations, meaning that future generations will be more inclined to use and /or abuse it. It doesn't help that we have a pop culture in this country that glorifies the use of weed and sensationalizes it. No more are we warning kids not to use it, we are actually encouraging it's use through entertainment. Recreational drug use is treated like it's no big deal in entertainment. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that pop culture leaves the impression that NOT using or experimenting with it is abnormal at this point. Despicable.
Being a libertarian with the belief that we all have a right to decide what to put in our bodies, I support the legalizing of weed, but begrudgingly so.
Weed is really no worse than alcohol, and that is plenty legal. I don't do either because both give me head spins at my age. Although weed doesn't give me a hang over like alcohol does.

To legally buy Marijuana you have to be 21 years old. Please explain how these teens have serious marijuana problems due to legal marijuana sales. Could it be because they are buying on the black market where dealers do no care about age restrictions? Wake up.
