Ask your nearest middle school student what drugs they have seen or heard of being used in their school.
Then ask them how hard it is to get their hands on beer.
One is illegal and has nearly a trillion dollars a year spent to prevent its use, one is for sale on nearly every street corner.
Game, set, and match.
Not mentioned by the DEA, you mean? I mentioned it:
"The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse reported in 2002 that teens said for the first time that they could get marijuana more easily than cigarettes or beer (http://www.casacolumbia.org/download.aspx?path=/UploadedFiles/b0ooqrvk.pdf). This is the DEA's idea of "progress"? What this shows is that the best way to restict teens' access to drugs is to make them legal for adults only (thus giving those who sell to adults a disincentive to sell to kids - namely, the loss of their legal adult market)."
