We know of the effects of Marijuana on the developing brain, but that's not any compelling factor in legalization. In fact, a very strong argument could be made that by better controlling the supply we may actually make an improvement in teen use

- It's pretty clear that the marijuana subculture - and growing corporate influence - want to market marijuana as a harmless, natural, recreational, and even medicinal, product. Maybe marijuana will be subject to the same branding, taxation, and restriction that cigarettes have? I don't know. But let's be clear that money matters, and legal distributors will have no incentive to promote the harmful effects of marijuana.
- Marijuana is a substance used primarily by the young. For a product that is so easy to grow, and distribute, what makes you think that a black market won't continue to exist to serve that sector?
