The majority of people who consume cannabis shouldn't be consuming it.
They don't understand what it is, how it's grown, or the affect it has on their body.
With all legalization, there is a slew of absolutely dim individuals who hop onto the bandwagon.
Some songs have even talked about things related to this.
Reggae songs talking about people using miracle-gro or other synthetic fertilizers, which absorb into the plant and make it basically toxic.
Even popular 'stoner' music such as Cypress Hill - I Want To Get High makes a reference to education with the line "People learning about, what they're smoking"
Honestly cannabis as we know it should be seen as a medicine rather than a recreational activity.
People suffering from pain or illness may be able to use it for some relief.
18 year old timmy who rebels again his parents and listens to hip-hop while breaking down a swisher, Probably shouldn't be chiefing.
Which brings in the subject of children, adolescence and the developing mind.
21 is seen as the 'drinking age', but really, for some, brain and body development can extend until they're around 26 years old.
There needs to be more medical and scientific research done on the plant(s), their strains and the long term affect in a litany of areas.
