The connection to mental illness in teen usage is particularly worrisome. http://www.futurity.org/teen-marijuana-abuse/ http://www.futurity.org/teen-marijuana-abuse/ memory issues as well: http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2013/12/marijuana-users-have-abnormal-brain-structure--poor-memory.html http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2013/12/marij... The problem here is that the age that you'd most likely use drugs is the age where you probably shouldn't. That said, of course the currenly policy is madness, but when I speak to "drug culture" people they seem 100% unaware of the risks and often tell me pot is a magical healing herb that can fix just about everything and, of course, is completely safe to drive on. The activists have painted this false picture of it being this ultra-safe magic drug and I think its time we started building a rational view of it, as well as discussing with people what it means to be high and drive a car, and building out breathalyzer-like devices for police enforcement. It should be treated the same as a DUI.
