UNREAL.
now just as in europe, they will lose a generation to drug abuse.
Instead of taking the battle head on and stopping it, they act like a parent who catches their kids smoking then just buy cigarettes for them
If the kid wants to smoke, he can find a lackadaisical convenience store owner and buy a pack of smokes, instead of having to descend into the underworld of violent mafia crime which controls the illegal drug trade.
If a convenience store owner sells smokes to underage kids too often, he can lose his license, thus creating a strong incentive NOT to sell the smokes to the kids, an incentive which the violent mafia drug dealers don't have.
Surveys have indicated that high schoolers find it much easier to buy pot than to buy tobacco or alcohol.
"Taking the battle head on" thus far has meant acting like a parent who blows their kids brains out if they catch them smoking. Surely that's just as stupid as buying cigarettes for them, yes?
Ha. The propaganda department in China needs workers, sounds like a good job for you.
YOUR problem is that you don’t see people, especially in this country, as grownups, capable of making their own decisions on what to put into their own bodies. YOU want to treat them (well, all of us but you, I guess) like the Rats treat black folks and other minorities: as too damned dumb and helpless to make it without YOUR guidance. Thanks, but no thanks.
