“Despite cannabis legalization, recreational drug use by youths [12-18] has dropped to its lowest level in 25 years.”

Kids understand what harms them now. This is the result of years, decades, of their parents also understanding that and passing it on to their kids.

This is a public health success story. It is also a success story for legalization of a once-controlled substance.

What if we applied this lesson to hard drugs?

Alberni Valley News · Cannabis use among B.C. youths continues post-legalization plunge: reportBy Jessica Durling

I stopped smoking pot years ago, when you truly didn't know what was in it. I've had everything from what could have been actual grass to pot that had been shipped across the border in diesel tanks. I'm not sure what to make of this new potency in modern strains sold across the country, but I'm certain it needs to be regulated. Texas should do so immediately.

Texas Monthly · Texas Has Basically Legalized Marijuana. We Have the Proof. Testing of smokable hemp at eight dispensaries around the state found that all were selling cannabis with potent levels of the psychoactive compound THC. 

#Florida has found a way to make #cannabis #legalization extra dumb. Like someone who doesn't know their ass from their elbow, Florida is imposing a potency cap on #THC. Why? I have no idea. It just means people will use more than they otherwise would. But I guess these bumbling idiots have to appear as tho they're doing something.
