Thank you to those who participated.
It’s a legal product, certainly kids should be taught not to use it, as with cigarettes and alcohol. I am not a user but I feel that those who do should be able to in the privacy of their own homes, without serious legal ramifications. That being said, you might get more responses without the name and email requirements. The Recapta exercise is a serious waste of my time, and should be deleted
