  • Yeah, I’m aware of that. We need more study and research, like I said. I’m very pro-weed (I’m smoking right now lol), but we can’t make reasonable conclusions about the level of risk involved in teen smoking yet. We just don’t know the full extent of any negative effects on developing brains.

    I think assessing risk based on consumption makes sense in terms of teens (and young adults too because their brains are still developing) being informed of the level of risk involved in how much they smoke, so that’s why I advocated for that.



  • I’m wondering about dosage here, really. As a kid, I smoked weed like maybe once a week but I knew kids who were constantly high all day, every day. We called them “permafried” and some even self-identified that way as a matter of pride.

    Hopefully, with further study and research, we can get more information about the actual risk to teens with a variety of usage patterns. Then it’s a matter of education so that they’re aware of the risk before they’re presented with the choice to smoke.
