Koi Fresco, the purpose of this video is not to say smoke weed is bad or that you should smoke weed, it just simple explain what happen when he chose to stop the weed. Koi started smoking weed when he was 14-15 years old. At that moment he did it he absolutely love it,for it made him feel very happy, chill and relax. His goal at that time just get high and nothing else. As time went on, he got the trouble with the law, ended up getting a DUI .Before going to the jail, he has a year to finish high school and apply for the college course, he try to stop weed, it is not easy at first, and he try to do something else to fill the time instead of smoking and doing nothing. Then his life is slowly change, he can focus on study, read , enjoy the life etc. However, when he was smoking weed, he did not really want to do these stuff. Finally, he realized and his life changed. Overall, I like more young people to see his stories.

On the another hand, if the level of taxation higher than the black market price and that may encourage and basically keep the industry below ground.
