Johnny, the problem isn’t just pot. Some folks like pot. Others like morphine. Others like PCP. Others like Cocaine. Others like Crystal Meth. Some like huffing things that seriously screw with their brains.
You see, there’s always going to be a no, even to adults.
Adults grow up and accept it. Children do not. And yes, I’ve met an awful lot of 50 plus year old children in my lifetime. And I’m not just limiting it to drugs.
Sure, we can legalize everything. Then there’s only a black market to our children. Of course there are groups that want them to be able to do anything they can talk them into too.
I know it seems real simple. It isn’t really.
Free everyone to protect themselves.

“Sure, we can legalize everything. Then there’s only a black market to our children.”
Of course, because we see organized gangs who are violently competing for the right to sell alcohol to kids, right?
Give me a break. The “black market” for legal substances consists, generally, of selling fake ID’s, not the substances themselves. Most people don’t even bother with that, they just get an older buddy, or some random person on the street to buy it for them.
