Inter­est­ing arti­cle about the neg­a­tive con­se­quences of mar­i­jua­na use by teens by a pro-pot author. Best line: “I dis­agree with the recre­ation­al use with­out the aware­ness that it is med­i­cine and that you are self med­icat­ing, and from the stand­point of media glo­ri­fy­ing it to teens in music, movies the inter­net, and tele­vi­sion, with­out them hav­ing prop­er under­stand­ing of what it does.”
