Unecessary prescription medications for kids is insane. I also don’t see how people think marijuana doesn’t have any negative effects.
It’s a depressant and is still illegal-you can get arrested etc. You can’t tell me it doesn’t cause health problems like respiratory issues, addiction, paranoia, anxiety. I don’t see harm if people use it occasionally or through medical prescriptions, but encouraging teenagers to use it seems strange. People lose their jobs for failing drug tests, and with technology it stays on people’s records for a long time. I’ve seen people lose jobs, their doctors, and fail court ordered drug tests for custody in divorce cases from marijuana. Why not teach 18 year olds healthy coping skills instead of using something that can cost them their job or create other issues in their lives?

Yea I’m pretty sure I can tell you that and I can tell you don’t smoke.
I smoke daily and I’m a very productive individual. I bet I can hold my breath longer than you,out run And work you! It’s not addictive, it can be habitual though. It’s doesn’t cause any paranoia for me nor does it make me anxious. I use it like coffee when need be and as a sleep aid when need be.
I bet you probably had a scotch in your hand as you typed this. Let’s talk about how alcohol is accepted but after too many drinks, you become an alter.
I can smoke 6 joints back to back and still be in my right mind to hold a conversation, can you do that after 6 drinks?
Alcohol is far worse than pot.

You just made a great argument on why alcohol should be illegal.
