"It appears that the most effective way to reduce access to marijuana by young people is harnessing the power of the market by legalizing for adults, so sellers have the potential loss of their legal adult market to discourage them from selling to minors."

I'm sorry, but that's pure fantasy...kids still get smokes and booze, regardless of the countless legal methods to prevent it...it won't be any different with dope.

Young people report that they can get pot (which is illegal for all, except in a few states) more easily than beer or cigarettes (which are legal for adults).

kids still get smokes and booze

And get pot even more easily. It appears that the most effective (although not 100% effective) way to reduce access to marijuana by young people is harnessing the power of the market by legalizing for adults, so sellers have the potential loss of their legal adult market to discourage them from selling to minors.
