Maureen Dowd's Marijuana Edibles Problem -- And Mine
This article in Forbes goes into a lot of detail about the "edibles" containing cannabis in Colorado, and my conclusion is: why did they legalise this form at all if they have any interest in limiting teenage use and experimentation?
It's just nuts - no teen need ever worry about being found out via smell or smoking paraphernalia - there appear to be hundreds of candies and chocolates (often containing multiple doses) on sale. And you have gooses like libertarian Gary Johnson praising them as even better than smoking!
I can't imagine a surer way to make it easier for a teenager to try it, and keep using it, as long as an adult friend goes and buys multiple dose candy bars for them.
My prediction remains - give this a couple of years, maybe three. See what has happened to education and rates of teenage use in the State and in nearby States. Look at the rate of adult use, and the effect on the economy. Then tell us whether it has been a success or not. I expect that there will be at least some degree of walking back from this experiment.
