Not familiar with the idea of forbidden fruit? When the mystery and excitement is taken away from something it becomes less attractive.
I’m guessing that you don’t believe the studies that show that teenagers who first drink alcohol with their parents are less likely to binge drink in the future.
As a general rule I only believe ‘studies’ when they confirm common sense. I can see how children who are introduced to alcohol with their parents would be less inclined to binge drink, but it makes no sense to me that legal and readily available marijuana would be less utilized. I understand the forbidden fruit argument...but I’ve never actually heard anyone, much less a pothead tell me that they smoked out because it was against the law, they do it because it’s fun getting high.
