Another aspect that I don't think anyone has touched on is how this can affect education.
With weed being legalized we're able to do more study's on it and actually teach about the harm that it has on adolescent brains. When I was in school all we heard about was that weed is a drug and all drugs are bad. There was no science or case studies involved at that time. The more I learned about weed, the more I realized that weed really isn't this bad drug I was taught and eventually started smoking (fortunately not until I was 17). Education is a big deal and I think a good chunk of teens will see the value in waiting until they are adults.
