This is always the response of detractors.. It's just very easy for a Libertarian to use the WOD as ammunition to how big government screws EVERYTHING up... Huh, there was no big government back in 19th century China when opium devastated Chinese society.

They can buy it today in there school... You see my point, it's worthless to waste our money on it this way.. If they were legal, we could have age limits similar to alcohol... Talk to a kid you know, ask them which is easier to get, alcohol or pot..
