A teenager buys cannabis legally from a store that checks her age, knowing what she is getting, facing none of the risks of illegal purchase. Her parents worry anyway, having heard conflicting messages about whether cannabis is harmless plant medicine or dangerous gateway drug. A young man with a history of psychosis uses cannabis despite warnings that it may worsen his condition, finding that it calms his anxiety in ways prescription medication does not. His psychiatrist urges him to stop; he continues anyway, making his own calculation about risks and benefits.
