Uncool cannabis
Those who argue against the decriminalisation of cannabis often claim that doing so would increase use of the drug among young people.
But new research in Britain suggests the drug is “losing its cool” among young people, in part because it has been downgraded from a class B to class C drug (i.e. less illicit). Perhaps much of the “coolness” about cannabis for young New Zealanders is precisely related to it’s being forbidden, naughty, illegal, risky, etc. Take all of that away, and maybe kids would be less interested?
