Last I looked, booze and smokes are still legal - how much of a deterrent is that to keeping kids from doing them?

There's a difference between keeping kids frm doing something, and keeping kids from personally buying something. There are penalties for selling beer and cigs to minors, and stores won't do it. It was much easier for me to get marijuana in high school than it was to get beer or smokes - go figure. You tell me why.

Guess its time to start arresting the adults who smoke and drink. That should keep it away from the kiddies.

A recent survey (posted on FR) showed that kids now find marijuana easier to get than smokes or beer.
