It's disturbing because up until now the rhetoric has been that pot smoking laws should not be relaxed for youth.
I get very nervous about legalizing anything that's accepted by the risk takers in society, but not the more toe-the-line elements. Why? Because if it's legal, it no longer meets their need to stretch the boundaries. So, if everyone can smoke pot, those risk-takers that stretch the rules, but just enough to be outside the norm will have to do something worse to meet that personality need.
Alcohol laws should be adjusted to match pot laws since both substances are pretty equal in effects on the user.
A teen caught with one beer should get one year in prison. A six pack should guarantee 20 years in prison. A case of beer, or second offense with one beer should yield life in prison.
