    Anything that is taboo is attractive.

    Easiest way to make kids not interested in something is for their parents to do it. Easiest way to get them interested is for their parents to forbid them from it.

    Pot consumption among teens is plummeting, now that it’s legalized and teens see it as something that their lame parents like doing, rather than something cool and illegal.

      Yes the exact same happened here in Holland 30 years ago when it was legalised. It became a deeply uncool “stoner” thing and none of my friends did it.

      Unfortunately the countries around us kept calling hell all those years until it finally became a common thing.
