Yeah, age is too simplistic a discriminator.
Maybe the people at the NIH and the ONDCP are right that there are dangers and no legitimate uses for smoked pot as a medicinal. I dunno. But the law and the law enforcement efforts clearly need to be reformed.
Too many people are locked up for drug offenses. Kids shouldn't have their future lives ruined (by getting a police record) for experimentation that doesn't hurt anyone. And there's too little rehabilitation and too much illegal money is involved. Big changes are needed.
FWIW.
Cheers,
Scott.
