parents need to make sure edibles are secured.

My mother never allowed anything but milk of mag into the house. She saw that one coming. I had enough diarrhea from the milk she tried to pour into me.

also also less opioid use. Never heard of weed hurting you long term but I don't think juvenile usage of any drug is a good thing. They have enough issues as teenagers without adding to the mix but you will never succeed in any type of prohibition - but rather education and awareness.

What I see and hear from my college age nieces and nephew is adderall abuse by college students. Never tried it and know very little about it but I know when I talk to my nephew it seems like he is going 100 mph and I can't get a word in edgewise. I've told him he needs to "watch it" or from what I have read could have a problem.

Being a juvenile is extremely painful and frustrating, so the attraction to anything that will dull the pain for a few hours is understandable. Harm reduction is what we need to look at, "thou shalt not" doesn't work.

I would much rather they experiment with cannabis than addictive and/or deadly substances. If we try to remove everything, they'll go back to huffing glue and gasoline.

but I warned about the scare headlines coming because you know that's exactly what right wing assholes will want.

Of course, cannabis drops are safer. Here in NM, the home grown ones taste like something drained out of a bong that was abandoned behind a bunch of old boxes in Mom's basement in 1972. I can't imagine anyone downing a whole bottle of them. Bleh.

I wondered where I left that bong.
