This is why marijuana should not be legalized. Just imagine a 15 year old tampering with this poison. Where did he get this drug from Who is selling this poison to our children? We have to introduce drug screening in our schools. Please don’t consider legalizing this poison. Because the next thing they will be finding 15 year old children with cocaine and fentanyl.
