Is this really a surprise?

John Ingold writes in today's Denver Post:
"Nearly three-quarters of teens in two metro-area substance-abuse treatment programs said they have used medical marijuana bought or grown for someone else, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Only one of the 122 teens in the study who admitted to using medical marijuana was an approved patient. The findings hint that the leaking of medical marijuana from the legal state system to illegal users may be common in Colorado."

Is this really a surprise? You think those who pushed for medical marijuana, and those who are now pushing for marijuana legalization, are surprised by marijuana being diverted for other than medial usage? I don't.
