“Colorado shows that legalization leads to skyrocketing use among youth.”

Official data from Colorado says otherwise.

They survey kids in school every 1-2 years starting the 8th grade.

Right now pot is not only legal but has less of a social stigma then even drinking does. OF course there will be more teens doing it.

BTW I would discount ANY reports commissioned by the state of Colorado. They will never tell the truth about use among teens or else they'd have to admit there's a problem with legalization.
