Get serious. How many adolescent and pre-teen recreational drug users are there? The answer is NONE -every one of them is the victim of a crime. Yet, drug use among these young people goes on because it is abetted by the older dealers (and I also include mass growers and transporters in the same category). I have one kid in high school, two more in jr. high, and a fourth in elementary school. I know for a fact that there is drug use (primarilly marijuana and alcohol) in the jr. high schools. A baseball teammate of my son got busted in a locker search for pot. Someone, probably not unlike the college student in the post, facilitated that young person's drug use. There are victims - lots of them.

OK. Is that a good argument for banning marijuana and alcohol for adults?

Ahh, yes ... the fallback of every Drug Warrior and Leftist when justifying their abuses of state power ... "the chillrun".

IIRC, convenience store clerks that are caught selling alcohol or tobacco to minors are FINED, not JAILED, for their offense of "victimizing" children.

Note to meddling nanny-staters: YOUR children are not an excuse for depriving ME of my liberties.
