THOUGH MARIJUANA IS LEGAL, IT'S STILL HARMFUL

As the state works out our new marijuana laws and all they entail, I
hope they will consider and include how to teach our children and
teenagers that drugs still aren't a positive thing and that they are
harmful. We have sent a very mixed message to them. Because of the
availability of medical marijuana (more dispensaries than Starbucks)
and the edibles packaged like candy, suckers, etc. (which leave no
smell or stinky breath to detect), we have made it very user-friendly
for them. Easy to get (hey, most adults want it!), great packaging,
everyone's doing it ... why not?
