The 'keep it away from teenagers' argument seems overblown to me. I started smoking in grade 10 and afterwards my grades got good enough to get into U of C Engineering, it led to me meeting new and interesting people, I increased my participation in extra-curricular activities and overall felt that pot was a net benefit to my personal development.
All the kids who ended up 'burn-out losers' weren't hot #### in the first place. I guess it's easier to say 'Pot ruined my youth' then to admit that you're mediocre and weren't going to accomplish much of anything anyways. People who are searching for an excuse to disconnect and stop caring will eventually find one.
