However, according to a recent op-ed by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), kids may actually thrive in the age of legal marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main arguments put forth by NORML is that legalizing marijuana can actually lead to a decrease in youth use. This may seem counterintuitive, but it makes sense when you consider the fact that illegal drug dealers don&#8217;t check ID. When marijuana is legalized and regulated, it becomes much harder for kids to get their hands on it.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, legalizing marijuana can lead to increased education and awareness about the drug. In states where marijuana is legal, there are often public education campaigns aimed at informing people about the risks and benefits of using marijuana. This can help kids make informed decisions about whether or not to use the drug.<\/p>\n<p>Another potential benefit of legal marijuana is increased tax revenue. In states where marijuana is legal, the tax revenue generated from sales can be used to fund education, healthcare, and other programs that benefit kids. This can lead to better schools, more access to healthcare, and other resources that can help kids thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are also potential risks associated with legal marijuana. For example, some people worry that increased availability of the drug could lead to an increase in accidental ingestion by children. However, this risk can be mitigated through proper packaging and labeling of marijuana products.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it seems that the potential benefits of legal marijuana for kids outweigh the risks. By decreasing youth use, increasing education and awareness, and generating tax revenue for important programs, legal marijuana can help create a better future for our children. As NORML puts it, &#8220;The kids will indeed thrive in the age of legal marijuana.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"plato-post-bottom-links\">\n<li class=\"plato-post-bottom-link-amplifi\">SEO Powered Content &amp; PR Distribution. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amplifipr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get Amplified Today.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plato-post-bottom-link-platoblockchain\">PlatoAiStream.
