[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has been a nationwide explosion of teen mental health problems over the last 20 years.

I believe social media and phones are primarily behind the overwhelming majority of new teen mental health disease cases.

Do we really want to add Marijuana use to the existing crisis?   Marijuana should never have been legalized.

And before anyone states the obvious (21 is the legal minimum age to smoke Marijuana), the same is true for alcohol yet teens get that often too.[/quote]

So we should ban alcohol, phones, social media and what else?

Are other people around the users of alcohol, phones, and/or social media physically affected?  I’ve never heard of anyone getting secondhand drunk, much less suffering from secondhand Facebook exposure.  If you have studies to offer that show that using them in the vicinity of children causes similar changes to their biochemistry, then maybe we should consider banning them.

That’s the weakest argument I’ve ever heard. Is smoking weed inside legal? No. So no you’re not getting high from a faint smell walking down the street. [/quote]

I didn’t say that people were getting high from a faint smell walking down the street.  I said that anything (like marijuana) that can cause severe, lasting damage to others through secondhand smoke should be illegal.  Do you think marijuana smokers DON’T smoke inside?  What do you think 18 years of exposure is doing to the developing brains of their children?   We already have problems with a poorly educated populace and behavioral issues in schools, do you think a generation of brain-damage will help?  That generation is our country’s future, and we are sacrificing it just so their parents can get high?  That’s a bad bargain for society.

Not to mention the dangers of driving under the influence.  Yes, it’s technically illegal, but without a legal standard for impairment, nor even an objective measure, enforcement is subjective, and thus weakened.  This leaves the only deterrent to driving that a marijuana user has to consider in their judgement-impaired state is whether their judgement is impaired.[/quote]
