Where is it easier for a minor to buy alcohol. From a liquor store or from a bootlegger? Now, tell us. Are bootleggers more common in places where alcohol sales are legal or illegal?

There are no bootleggers for the same reason that minors favor drugs to alcohol. Alcohol is bulky. Legalizing drugs will make it easier for teens to make a few bucks selling drugs to minors. If you do not understand that you understand the teen drug culture not at all.

There are no bootleggers because there is no profit margin. We were always able to find someone to sell us beer at cost when I was underage.

Beer was harder to get then MJ though, we actually had to find someone over 21 and get them to go to the store. For MJ we just asked the kid in the next desk.

Ain't been in Deliverance country for a while huh? There's still bootlegger. And teens dig alcohol plenty, it's easier to get ahold of (hang out near a liquor store for 10 minutes and you will find someone that thinks the age laws are dumb and will buy booze for you) and the bust is less severe if you get caught.

That's it. While it has a lot of competition, that is the most stupid post you have put on this thread.

There are no bootleggers? Well, that's just a false statement. Illegal alcohol sales are incredibly common in places where alcohol sales are illegal. I've bought alcohol from bootleggers. As a minor. I know for a fact that they still exist. You are just wrong. But that will be no surprise to anyone.

Also, your grasp of economics is a bit weak. Explain how these teenage pushers will make MORE money selling a legal substance, which is pretty damn easy to produce, when its current price is supported completely by the fact that it is illegal. What do you think it costs to grow an ounce of weed and get it to market?

Jayef is right. You are a waste of time.
