I don’t support marijuana, but at the very least the DEA needs to put it on the backburner. We have meth and opiates eating away at the country, who cares about kids smoking weed? The opiate and meth crisis is destroying the rust belt in particular.
Marijuana decreases opioid effectiveness a regular pot user needs 67% more opioid to achieve the same pain relief
Ive got a real simple and inexpensive cure for street junkies, one freebie.
You get caught one time and you get let go with verbal and printed promises that the next time if there is one YOU WILL BE SHOT ON SITE!
I’ll donate the ammunition.

“...who cares about kids smoking weed...”
Uh, how about parents who do not want to see their kids damage their not-yet-fully-developed brains? Or sit around, eyes dilated, eating Doritos all day? Or lose their sense of initiative? Just to name a few.
You cannot ignore kids smoking pot just because you think meth and opiates are worse. All three of them are problems that need to be addressed.
