If marijuana becomes legal for recreational use, there will be many more young people using it than otherwise would have. Once it is officially sanctioned and approved, it will seem totally harmless to new generations of young people.

Has anyone figured out what the costs of that might be?
Like the 3rd graders in California that were smoking in the school bathroom with their own pipe??? I don't think most people have a clue what doors would be open with this legalization. Don't know what the answer is - don't think jail is appropriate, but don't think legalizing is either. It's a very complicated issue that is above my pay grade.
