Medical Marijuana Legalization Lowers Teen Use.

I am researching the legalization of marijuana for medical use. I feel it is a very contriversial topic and is also very current. At first I thought that the legalization of marijuana would be very bad making it to easy for people who really dont need it and for teen to get the drug. I recently read an artical that stated the 8 out of the 10 states that had legalized marijuana by 2006 saw a decrease of teen use in mariuana from 1999 to 2006. At first I was suprised and thought it would be the opposite but then i realized that once something becomes more availible it stops to become something special that they shouldn't have and that most people don't have, but once anyone can get it then they realize that it is accualy really bad for them and they will stop using it. I thought this was very interesting and really made me think.
