39. People who claim marijuana doesn't undermine brain development in young people

Sat Dec 14, 2019, 12:53 AM

Dec 2019

are spreading falsehoods.

It is hardly a benign drug when used by adolescents.

We are seeing the repercussions of a very flawed legalization law here in CA where illegal business have taken over a large majority of the market and are selling to teenagers.

Kids who are stoned at school don't learn. We are in a crisis here that no one is talking about, other than concerned teachers who are doing their best to send up red flags.

We need to do better than this.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
