  • Marijuana legalization: Cannabis has downsides, especially for kids

    Dec 18, 2020

    There was a time in my life, in the not-so-distant past, when cannabis was immensely important to me. Not because I used it - I've tried it but don't like the way it makes me feel - but because voters in California were being asked whether pot should be legal for adult recreational use. I took it upon myself to try to fully understand the upsides and downsides of the 2016 ballot initiative, so I could help readers make informed decisions.
