(3,022 posts)and the only thing you have to prove marijuana is the sole or even dominant problem is a strongly held opinion. I'm not saying that we should ignore a problem I just don't think you have shown enough evidence to make the case there is a problem or that marijuana is the root of it.
I'm not willing to go back to the days of marijuana use being criminalized. People have spent, are spending, decades in prison for simple possession. No laws to allow recreational marijuana use have ever included minors. In California the law prohibits recreational use by persons under 21. I presume that covers the high school students in question. It is already prohibited by law for the population you speak of it seems a reasonable person would want nothing more than better enforcement of the existing laws.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
