Definitely not.
If anyone has been keeping up with the records, the most commonly used drugs by teenagers are those that are legal, since they're "easily attainable". Now, usually, I have this attitude in which if a teenager uses drugs, gets busted and becomes a loser, I would think: 'Well, SOMEONE has to flip burgers. It's their fault for making a poor decision.'
However, I'm just tired of stoners all over the place. Sure, it should be accessed to those who need it, but t's only used for a pain-killer, why not just prescribe stronger pain-killers?
I will relate this to one of my life experiences. It was a few weeks before high school was over, and I guy I knew invited me to his birthday party. Knowing he was a stoner, and knowing how many people he invited, I declined. However, two GIRLS told me I should go, that I HAD to go. I was beyond pissed, because I know they wanted me there for one reason: They didn't want to be the only ones sober at what's basically a "pot party". I told them they DIDN'T have to go, and god knows I sure didn't want to. However, they convinced me because Joe was going. He was the most awesome guy I knew, and he's sober, so I thought, 'FINE!'.
Walked in, SO MANY PEOPLE. You guys should know that the only parties I like going to, are parties that have good, clean fun, with a close-knit group of people. I can't STAND big parties. Anyway, after a while there about 70% of the room's population retreated to the bathroom to do you-know-what. Poor Joe had to go to the bathroom, but everyone was fucking SMOKING. I stayed in the corner with the two girls, not doing anything besides being BORED out of my MIND. The whole night was just LAME. And when I finaly got the courage to play Rock Band with the other sober kids, the high people decided, "OH MY GAWD! LET'S LISTEN TO MUSIC OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD AND DANCE!"
We couldn't hear ourselves play. So we eventually gave up on playing and did nothing..again.
Then, we actually found a corner where the sobers (which is like...6 of us in a party of 30-40 people) played Super Smash Brothers: Brawl. I got home at three, getting a ride from the Girls' mom. Now, you may be wondering, 'What does this have to do with Medical Marijuanna?'
I'll tell you: The mother of the "birthday boy" has been prescribed medical marijuanna, and stuck it in her cooking to distribute to the "party-goers". She's probably half the reason the majority of the party was high. The reason she did it: She figured that doing drugs is part of "growing up".
What kind of stupid excuse is THAT!? The reason she thinks it's "alright" is because she's trying to be one of those 'hip' parents and decide, "Since I was always high in the 60's, I want my son to be too!"
Not only will teenagers have access to marijuanna, but if they have a parent who is prescribed it, they might take it from them or worse: Have the parent be the reason their kid is on drugs in the first place. The birthday boy's mother fed him POT-BROWNIES at the age of FIVE.
Do you REALLY want this to happen to the nation's children? No entrepreneurs , no leaders, just a butt-load of lazy people flipping burgers?
I don't think so, but then again, SOMEONE has to "have it their way".
