A lot going on here, but I think that the normalization of pot use - especially among the young - will be an extremely terrible side effect of marijuana legalization. I personally feel that decriminalization is what the debate should centre upon.

Adolescents who regularly use marijuana may be at heightened risk of developing subclinical and clinical psychotic symptoms. However, this association could be explained by reverse causation or other factors. To address these limitations, the current study examined whether adolescents who engage in regular marijuana use exhibit a systematic increase in subclinical psychotic symptoms that persists during periods of sustained abstinence.
