The kids will damage their brains - their ambitions - their natural skills before they are old enough to enter the work force - IF they enter the workforce.
I agree with you. I got out, if not in time to do no damage, than at least in time to get too much damage.
The only bright spot is this. Alchohol use increased during prohibition. Alcohol decreased after alcholol was permitted. If it is legalized its use could drop.
