Go ahead and legalize it and let the law suits fly. Make sure to put those Surgeon General cancer warnings on the packaging, and include a warning that cannabis use before the age of maturity can lead to a decreased IQ, and increased risk of schizophrenia.

While marijuana use is down among adults, it’s use is way up among teenagers. It is estimated that 40% of teenagers have used marijuana. Maybe it is time to rethink the message that drug legalization sends to teenagers. Marijuana use is not harmless.

Where are the lawsuits related to the harmful drug alcohol?

I assume that legal marijuana, like alcohol and tobacco, will have warning labels - and as long as they're factual I have no problem with that.

Are you claiming that teen marijuana use shot up to 40% in the few weeks since CO and WA legalized marijuana? If not, then legalization has nothing to do with teen use.

Marijuana use is not harmless.

Nor are the legal substances alcohol and tobacco - nor bacon double cheeseburgers nor skydiving. Shall we ban everything that's "not harmless"?
