I am going to state that I don’t have the experience of growing up in the circumstances he did in Kansas City, nor do I have the breadth of perspective given the things he experienced, studied, and saw during his time in South Africa. His resume is pretty impressive, especially given that he’s younger than most of us.
I don’t disagree. Regulate it like alcohol and cigarettes, for whatever good it will do. Keep doing DARE, but just be realistic about it.
But, I think that also means that we need to be realistic with minors about what it is and what it does. I have to stop myself from rolling my eyes every time I hear a police officer talk to kids about weed.
The avoidance of picking nits, because we agree on what the result should be.
Banning the use while driving/being under the influence while operating is regulating the use of it. If alcohol or weed are involved, then you’re regulating the use of it.
Laws regarding parental supervision regulate the circumstances under which it may be used by minors. If weed is involved, it’s a regulation on the use of it under specific circumstances.
