Try this on for size. The reason minors can get pot with relative ease is that it is an ILLEGAL economy.

Where I grew up, alcohol sales were illegal. It was terribly easy for us high school kids to get alcohol, because those involved in selling alcohol were already breaking the law - if selling is already illegal, why not sell to kids? Across the river, where alcohol sales were legal, the kids had a terrible time buying it, because there was no illegal alcohol economy. They came over to our town to buy beer.

Right... So then, when it becomes legal to sell pot to pushers, but not to the kids who buy it from them, then all the pushers are just going to change careers and stop selling to kids. OK. I get it now. Quick: Legalize drugs.

Have you ever followed a conceptual scenario to its logical conclusion?
