Interesting one is that in other articles it's been noted kids generally report they have an easier time getting marijuana than alcohol.
Yep. If someone is legally selling booze to adults, they incur a serious risk to their legitimate business by selling to minors. The risk/reward just isn't there.
But with pot, the sale is already illegal. What difference does it make if you're selling to a minor?
That was certainly my experience in Jr High and High School, and that was back in the 70s. If I were a conspiracy buff, I'd think that that fact would work to the WODies benefit....
1) Marijuana is illegal, making it more available to kids because there is no incentive to sellers to discriminate based on age.
2) Kids do drugs, so we have to do something about kids doing drugs FOR THE CHILDREN!
3) Profit!
