Why do you make the jump that just because adults can have it...children will have increased availability? There's already as much available to children as they want. It's MORE available to children than alcohol is. Ask your grandkids if they can get it, which is easier for them to get. I know what the answer will be.

I know what your intentions are, to deny others something they desire. Absolutely incorrect assertion! You use the reasoning that "it's to protect the children". I did not use the reasoning you state!! My intention is to allow adults to "pick their poison" and not deny something they'd like to have over a false assumption not my assumption!! that kids will become walking zombies all hopped up on marijuana.

I don't think we're getting through to each other. My intent is to leave it at that and quit!
I am done explaining what I did not intend or say. Have a good day!
