Well it isn't a crime to have sex, and you obviously didn't get what I was saying...

Because marijuana is illegal, private groups of individual citizens are the only suppliers. With me so far? The current laws have made selling marijuana a social activity! Please tell me one way, without legalization, how we can stop our children from selling the crap to each other??

Yeah, sure, that part was pretty clear. But, back in #143, you said:

"The only way we are ever going to have a drug free society, is if you legalize all drugs. The dangers of these substances will then be realized by our children, and we can finally take a step foward in the right direction."

Now, this is where the logic gets sort of, let's say, "fuzzy." Last time I checked, alcohol is legal. But, it seems the kids don't have too much trouble getting it, and it seems they still want it, too. (Alcohol-related traffic incidents are the #1 cause of death among teens, aren't they?)

So, just how long do you predict it will take before "the dangers of [this substance] will ... be realized by our children, and we can finally take a step foward in the right direction"? Are you saying that's bound to happen once all drugs are legalized (in addition to alcohol)? Please explain.

I'll keep making the sexual analogies. Please tell me one way we can get teens to stop having sex before they are married. The answer is that we can't but condoning it is obviously not the solution.
