Will this change anyones mind? Duh?
Changing the subject is a good technique. Should I bite? Nah. I think we all know the risks of drinking alchohol. And we're not talking about medical marijuana. We're talking about legalizing marijuana and how it will most likely become more commonly used by teenagers.

If teens see their grandparents, parents, older siblings, Aunts and Uncles etc. smoking pot, it will seem harmless and fun to them. And it will be more available. It will be everywhere. This will envitably result in many more teens smoking pot, as the stigma will be gone. So there will likely be many more brain dammaged teens to look forward to in the future.
