I told you all this.
Legalizing it simply gives it official approval, which naturally makes young people think it’s okay.

A new era is under way for marijuana in the US. It is legally approved for recreational use in six states and Washington, DC, and 28 other states are in some process of decriminalizing the federal Schedule I drug. But as states move to end the prohibition of marijuana, researchers are finally able to study the cultural shifts that result from it.
A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that from 2010 to 2015, teenagers in Washington viewed marijuana as increasingly less harmful over time. In addition, teenagers began trying pot at higher rates.
Researchers looked at the data from a national survey of 253,902 teenagers over the five-year period. Eighth, 10th and 12th graders were asked how harmful they perceived pot to be and if they had used it in the past month.
Washington first began moving towards legalization in 2012, giving researchers the ability to examine how attitudes moved over the course of legalization. By 2013 to 2015, 14 percent fewer 8th graders perceived marijuana to be harmful. In that same period, the number of 10th graders who saw it as harmful fell 16 percent.
In general, teenagers have been perceiving weed as being less harmful across the country. Even in states that have not legalized recreational marijuana, the number dropped by 5 to 7 percent and only saw an increase of teenagers using it by 1 percent.
However, many marijuana legalization opponents may take issue with the fact that the use of marijuana is increasing at a much higher rate in Washington. Two percent more 8th graders reported using marijuana while for 10th graders, that number increased to 4 percent over the same period.
Retard libertarians have pushed this stupid lie that people only do drugs because they think it’s cool and if you make it legal it stops being cool. But alcohol has always been legal, and it is the most widely consumed drunk of all by orders of magnitude.
Then these filthy scumbags just lie about Portugal and say drug use went down when they legalized them, when in fact drug use among teenagers has more than doubled.
I just heard the libertarian liar Alex Jones cite Portugal recently, saying drug use went down and it was a miracle because when it’s legal no one thinks it’s cool.
These people are simply lying.
If drug use is objectively bad – and it is – then we should get rid of the drugs.
Don’t tell me it’s impossible.
Because it isn’t.
