[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pot problem at Wilson is no worse than it was before legalization.   And as a parent, i’d much rather have kids smoking pot than drinking or doing other hard drugs.  Frankly, I’d rather have them occasionally smoke pot than get hooked on vaping and addicted to nicotine. [/quote]

How is smoking pot better than vaping?! You’re still putting chemicals is your lungs. And please don’t reply that pot is natural because it isn’t regulated so you have zero idea of what is in it.[/quote]

It’s the addictiveness of nicotine.   Vapers will be hooked for life or have an awful time quitting.   [b]Teen pot smokers, like generations before them, will use for five or six years, then quit or use infrequently[/b]. [/quote]

I don’t think you can compare the future pot smoking habits of today’s teens with previous generations. The big difference is that weed is now legal. In the past, once they became mature adults, most didn’t feel comfortable engaging in an illegal activity. Now that it’s no longer illegal, there wouldn’t be the same incentive to quit. It doesn’t have the same stigma, and they wouldn’t have to worry about being arrested. I think this generation of teens will smoke weed as adults in far greater numbers than years past. [/quote]
