I don't want it marketed, no selling. Your personal choices and motives is to complex to litigate.

So someone else is free to make their personal choices as long as it doesn't effect you. Lmao
Teenagers are kids, quite a few here are talking about how they'll do it anyways. Others say that evils of pot are all lies. Nope, not so on some of it.

Inordinately Right
Teenagers can get cannabis more easily than they can get alcohol because of the black market that prohibition creates. If you care about the children you should be in favor of legalization.
What stops them from getting alcohol then? Flawed logic.

Alcohol is regulated..... they figure out ways to get it if they really want to but more hoops to thru for booze than weed.
It will be fine

For an underage person to get alcohol they need to enlist the help of a third party. They need someone else to break the law so they can get drunk. With drugs the dealer is already breaking the law so there's no deterrent to sell to minors.

It won’t completely stop them. But selling shady bootleg moonshine in high schools isn’t an epidemic. Their money isn’t funding black market organizations. Unlike the kids selling drugs in school and buying from sketchy sources becoming involved with the real criminals.
As long as I can remember high school kids have been getting drunk. As bad as alcohol is for them pot may be worse for their long term mental and cognitive health. Making it legal for 18 year olds or even 21 yr olds isn't going to change that.

Actual data says otherwise.

Alcohol is way worse. There’s hardly even a comparison. You can OD on alcohol, there’s no OD limit on pot. Marijuana might give you anxiety, but it won’t send you into full blown psychosis like alcohol. Drinking and driving is a big killer. I don’t know what else to say if you really believe alcohol is better for you.

It won't change its health effects no but it'll make it harder for them to get.
There are fewer high schoolers drinking alcohol than there ever have been and it's not even close. In the 70's it was something like 95% of high schoolers drank. Now it's like 25%.

You ever met a life long alcoholic on the street? I guarantee you that alcohol does far more damage to the brain and body.
Didn't say it was. And definitely very bad if abused. But I keep thinking of the studies that show that the human brain isn't fully formed until about 27 for most and pot damages that development. You want it legal but legal for whom? If you set the legal age at 28 you still have teens and young adults going to dealers. Maybe an intense public education effort to inform about what's bad about young adult use but you've got people here up in arms if you inhibit any kind of usage. And of course so many have God taken out of their lives by those who hate any reference to religion. Religion is very good for convincing many young people to not participate in dangerous behavior. But we can't have that. So generally things will get worse because that's what is wanted. Nothing so far has worked and doubtful anything will. But those wanting legalization will say it'll work, as they have so many past government efforts to point to that have worked very well without unintended consequences. Good luck!

I'm not competing with alcohol. It's bad. But don't ignore the science that says pot damages brain development. The only thing that truly works is not partaking of either. But people want to party, they want to drown sorrows, they want to chill, and whatever else they want to do. Things will deteriorate to some level that will scare enough to not try it just as determining cigarettes cause cancer lowered the smoking rate and made places smoke free. Hopefully that's a level we can live with.
Did you smoke pot in your early adult years? I suspect you did.
