Legalizing marijuana would make it harder for children to get it. Bars and liquor stores check ID, because the ABCC will shut them down if they sell to minors. People who sell illegal drugs don't worry about things like that. I have heard from friends of mine with high school kids that it's much easier for their kids to get grass than beer.
How do you figure? The government will need to make sure kids get marijuana, because they'll be making billions of dollars from it. Face it, ten years after legalization, people won't even know what the word, "libertarian," means. The government will expand tenfold and control every aspect of our lives. George Soros has been promoting marijuana because he explicitly know that.
Well, I respectfully disagree that legalizing it will make it harder to get illegally. It will be more wide-spread, so that if a kid wants it they will be able to get it from just about anyone. And do you really think the government is going to crack down hard on something they made legal? Obama is already refusing to enforce laws that he disagrees with.
Hasn’t worked that way in CO.
