Maybe instead of "recreational use" we use "adult use" in advocating for legalizing cannabis [View all]

I was listening to a conversation about legalizing cannabis and they used "adult use" instead of "recreational use" on ballots about legalizing marijuana. Recreational sounds like playground and implies that kids will get it.

I know it's just different words, but it is about getting support in ballot initiatives and public opinion.

Oh, and no I'm not high right now.
