I really hope they don’t. I believe it’s a lie that marijuana is not harmful.

Going to a disco and staying out until 5 a.m. when you have to work the next day is likewise "harmful." Hey! Let's make that illegal, too!

Alcohol causes changes to the brain chemistry. 7-year-olds who drink two bottles of Jim Beam a day have a lower high school graduation rate... Hey, let's illegalize alcohol for everyone!

No one here is claiming that marijuana smoke is better for your lungs than fresh, pine-scented air. Rather, it is the recognition that the "War on (Certain) Drugs" has caused immensely greater harm than good, and squandered billions, while simultaneously encouraging the creation of a sprawling bureaucracy with para-military powers that tramples on our Constitutional Rights because - "It's for the Children, sniff!"

Number 1, number2 and number 3. You are dealing with kids who usually begin experimentation well, when they are kids. Kids don’t know the consequences of their actions in a lot of cases so why enable them? It’s up to the parents. Yes, I said it’s up to the parents.
