Perhaps my old age speaking, but allowing a mind altering drug to be available to people, especially after our lecturing on cigarette smoking is patently unfair to our grandchildren. We applaud the warnings on cigarettes, and dismiss those on this drug. Makes very little sense to me.
Adding to that, as I said earlier , from my reading, there are already drugs to be prescribed to allow the same effects as medical marijuana. So it seems this is just a step to make young people even more dependent on ARTIFICIAL highs and become even more self absorbed.
