It can be really dangerous for people under 21 due to the brain still developing. It can lead to serious addiction issues which lead to no good. It is very easy to start but extremely hard to quit.

I think it is reasonable for parents to allow certain substances in there own home. However, it should not include any nicotine products and it can't be in higher frequent doses. A lot of these companies target youth to get them addicted young. We don't need to encourage the behavior.

Yeah, part of it was that smoking cigarettes was absolutely off the table. Almost no upside, all downside. And we were kids long before vapes was a thing, but that would certainly have fallen under the same umbrella. They were both addicted to nicotine for decades and could definitely attest to how hard it was to quit. They both did eventually manage, but it was pretty obvious how big of a deal it was for them, with alot of failed attempts.

Weed is for sure not a great idea for teens, but that wasn't known at the time. And part of it not being taboo meant that none of us ended up being habitual anyway. But yeah, certainly had they known that at the time it would have been added to the con list for it.
