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? Barbara Allen, Denver - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
