While I'm not going to argue that children still in puberty are not more likely to development problems as they get older because of pot the same can be said about alcohol and and any other substance that can alter hormone levels in developing teens. But In my experience it was easier to get pot than it was to get alcohol when I was under 21. You can't control the black market and as long as Marijuana stays illegal these problems will continue.
Legalization solves so many of the arguments against legalization it boggles my mind that they can make the argument with a straight face.

EX- Mary smokes bud. her best friend jane knows mary smokes because Mary is always telling her what its all about. Therefore that plants a tiny seed in the back of Janes head which deems her "the slightest bit curious". Because Now mary and Jane are chillin an Mary pulls out that DANK Sack. initial response from Jane "Ooo Aahh Mary wats that?"

I don't know, the desire to fit in can be strong in a teen. I'm not saying that the teen isn't responsible for their choice, it may be a choice that teen would not have made with out the constant nagging of their "friend" that smokes. I started smoking Pot because I wanted to, but I started smoking cigarettes because people kept bothering me to smoke one and I just wanted to shut them up. My desire for peace outweighed my disgust of tobacco for that brief moment and I was hooked. I should have had more willpower but that can waiver once in a while.
