I wonder how much of that statistical increase in pot use is due to students smoking pot more and how much of it is due to students being more willing to admit that they smoke pot due to the changing perception of the drug? That's the problem with survey type research, it's based on the presumption that people are generally honest, while in reality most people lie most of the time.
- Tloewald 11y agoOne of the things I really liked about Colorado's legalization is that people could openly and honestly discuss their preferences without the whole legal/moral/peer group issues. E.g. one of my younger cousins said, quite frankly, that she doesn't like the effect pot has on her and prefers alcohol. When drugs don't have illegality to taint or glamorize them we can be honest with ourselves and each other about them.
