The argument is that it is probably easier for minors to get it now that it's legal for adults.

It was easier to get than beer in 1973. A lot easier.

That still doesn't change what I said.

It doesn’t change what you said but it does mean the argument is invalid.
It has always been easy peasy to get pot.
It was even easier to get than cigarettes and they weren’t terribly difficult to obtain.

However easy it was, and yes I was around in '73, it's easier now for minors, in states where marijuana is legal for adults.

Most of the supply chain now for minors is legal, in those locations. It's grown legally in those states, a middle man can legally buy it in those states...etc.

It simply stands to reason that when most most of the supply chain is legal for adults, it becomes easier to obtain for minors.

I don’t see how it can get easier than just asking a friend and getting it in 24 hours or less. It also seems counter-intuitive to the fact that pot use among those 18 and younger in CO is down as posted earlier on this thread.

How about getting it faster than 24 hours or less.

I don't know the source of that "fact".

Among a group of 5 or 6 six of us in high school that was usually the case. We went through an oz. of pot every day in our jr. and sr. years.

I don't know the source of that "fact".

Following marijuana legalization, teen drug use is down in Colorado December 11, 2017

The source of the data is from the FedGov here ...National Survey on Drug Use and Health:

I guess if Obama's DHHS says it's true, it must be true.

BTW, even with those figures, if you factor in the concentration of THC today, compared to back in 1973, then THC intake for minors in CO is definitely up.

Ah, so my source is in question. Definitely beat out by your no-source non-data.

... then THC intake for minors in CO is definitely up.

On to an entirely different matter now I see.

In spite of that popular notion of today we got ahold of some really good pot back then. Thai sticks, Acapulco Gold, Maui Wowie and a lot of red and blond hash as well as hash oil. I've only tried the modern varieties a few times but they've got nothing on the high dollar stuff of yesteryear.

I cited a simple common sense business principle. When you increase the ease of delivery of a product, you generally increase the consumption.

You responded with a survey paid for by Obama's DHHS, done by a globalist company, RTI International, which does business with anti American countries around the world.

What could possibly go wrong outsourcing important surveys about the kids of Colorado to the global anti American, leviathan?

THC intake for minors in CO is definitely up.

THC intake is a "different matter"? LOL. You really think that?

There you have it, "common sense" beats actual data.

How could I possibly think that individual dosing strength was a different subject than number of people taking doses? I must be crazy! LOL
