"The costs of legalizing marijuana would not only be financial. New marijuana users would not be limited to adults if marijuana were legalized, just as regulations on alcohol and tobacco do not prevent use by youth. Rapidly accumulating new research shows that marijuana use is associated with increases in a range of serious mental and physical problems. Lack of public understanding on this relationship is undermining prevention efforts and adversely affecting the nation’s youth and their families."

But my question is, do they really know what will happen in the future? Maybe they should address other issues on how to prevent that. Such as making certain laws and regulations on it. There is a way to prevent abuse of it. Maybe the abuse of marijuana would decrease. No one knows what the future holds

Handcuffs and weed? Seems marijuana is not legal in all states... in the "United" States of America
In the above photo, you can see that the handcuffs are cuffed. Meaning marijuana will get you cuffed (arrested) if you're in possession of it.
In the photo below, the handcuffs are uncuffed. This is because in different states, marijuana is legal and you are allowed be in possession of it and you won't get arrested for it.
Confusing right?
So, the question remains: Why is marijuana only legal in some states? If this country is called the "United" States of America, why is it that the laws are so different from state to state? Shouldn't all states, if "united", have the same laws, especially if it is legal in states for medicinal purposes? Medicine is medicine. As long as one has a prescription for certain medications, it can travel across state lines. But, not marijuana. Surely there is an issue at hand.
