Actually. I found it interesting and a concern. Why? Because my son and his friends have to live in that environment(where pot is readily available).

And pot will be even more readily available now that possession is legal here in Colorado and especially with stores opening everywhere. Not quite as many as liquor stores yet. As I mentioned, a kid can always find an adult who is willing to buy for them.

Plus it has lost the stigma that it used to have because of the medical pretense and the fact that it is now legal and people like those on FR claiming that it isn’t harmful.

So the study in the link is probably way understating what it will be like in a year or so. I pray for our children.

dhs12345, was your "Good link" sarcastic? (If so, I missed it.)

Actually. I found it interesting

Thanks for clearing that up.

a kid can always find an adult who is willing to buy for them.

Far from always - as you now know, since well before any state had legalized pot, teens have reported that they could get it more easily than beer or cigarettes ... which is to be expected since legal sellers card and illegal sellers don't.

the medical pretense

Marijuana has well established medical benefits.

those on FR claiming that it isn’t harmful.

I've never seen anyone on FR claim that.
