Hmmmm. Did you think the poster was referring to those plants? Call me crazy, but I think "plant" was a code word for marijuana.
"Kids smoking anything is wrong and I believe it would remain illegal regardless of any legalization for adults."
As do I. But in today's society, legalization carries with it a societal acceptance. Teens today drink alcohol 2:1 over marijuana despite the fact that they admit marijuana is easier to get.
When marijuana was legal in Alaska in the 80's, teen use was double the national average. That use fell to within 1% of the national average whan marijuana was made illegal.
Teens today represent 30% of all marijuana smokers. That percentage would very likely increase with adult legalization. Good luck enforcing a law against teens smoking legal marijuana when they represent nearly half the market.
They're heavily into euphemisms to hide the poverty of their arguments.
