Naturally availabilities vary from one place to another - but the nationwide figures say pot is easier for kids to get.

> Not for me. It had two problems: lack of availability and it had a stigma. Both of those issues are gone now.

Who says that? Not the state governments that have legalized it.

> No just the people trying to justify the legalization. I have heard many times that it isn't as bad for you as cigs and that is bs. And don't be fooled, our children are hearing it too and a kid, wouldn't have tried it before, will try it now.

As are alcohol and tobacco - should those be banned to send a message to kids?

> Well yes. Actually, it is banned for kids. However, I was never told that neither weren't harmful to me. And no doubt, it will be a lot available now than ever before.

Yeah, that's why kids are scarfing down blood pressure medicine and menopause hormones.

> No doubt yes, if those meds gave a person a high.... but they don't. Funny thing too — you need a doctor's prescription to use the meds that you mention.

Not for me.

Are you nationwide?

Who says that [pot is not that harmful]? Not the state governments that have legalized it.

No just the people trying to justify the legalization.

I support legalization and I say the opposite.

I have heard many times that it isn't as bad for you as cigs and that is bs.

Can you prove that? The clinical and epidemiological evidence against tobacco is stronger than that against pot.

And don't be fooled, our children are hearing it too and a kid, wouldn't have tried it before, will try it now.

So the claim that it's not harmful is more widespread now than before? Can you prove that?

As are alcohol and tobacco - should those be banned to send a message to kids?

Well yes. Actually, it is banned for kids.

And so should pot be - and is in the states that have legalized it. Should alcohol and tobacco be banned for adults to send a message to kids?

After all it is “medical” and so it must be good for you.

Yeah, that's why kids are scarfing down blood pressure medicine and menopause hormones.

No doubt yes, if those meds gave a person a high

Irrelevant to your claim about kids using because of its medical properties.
