I'm pro-legalization (because criminalization does much more harm than good) but why are you all acting like this is a bad thing? Especially considering that the campaign is specifically advocating against YOUTH consumption of marijuana? We can all agree that children and adolescents shouldn't consume marijuana, right? Just because it shouldn't be criminalized doesn't change the fact that weed is a habit-forming drug that impairs memory, concentration, and reflexes. It absolutely CAN be dangerous.
