The social implications of our not only legalizing but presenting it as harmless are yet to fully unfold but I do not think we will care for the results.

Yes. Some naturopaths are even recommending regular use for pregnant women.

You won't see a billboard for cigarettes anywhere, but here in Arizona, there are colorful billboards featuring Cannibis gummies, cheeseburgers, pizza, chips . . . Buy One Get One Free specials . . . Father's Day discounts for dad . . . Woman owned Cannabis businesses

Not a hint of a warning of overuse, side-effects or even an attempt to not make the ads appeal to children.

My son has had marijuana smoke blown in his face at the park, our old neighbors smoked outside enough that the stench infested our yard. Legalization is a disaster.

Same in my state.

No ads for tobacco, because that is bad for you and it is, the billboards for alcohol are restrained with a note to "drink responsibly" but cannabis? Lots of billboards telling you to get high man, baked is best and offering home delivery.

And I am seeing more and more people openly filming themselves doing things while high that are probably not very wise.

And what really worries me is the ones where they are giving it to someone else without their consent. That is not funny. That is assault.

Like I said, I don't think this ends well for the country as a whole. But people are addicted to their intoxicants of choice so nothing I can do.
