You should see the zombies coming out of the pot and vaping shop, so sad and so young.

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). 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.

Here in CA most all violent criminals jailed love their pot

Alcohol is even more popular among criminals - should we ban that drug too?

Many times alcohol is in the mix with pot.

We know limited use isn’t bad and I believe it is already illegal while driving and operating machinery.
I could live with it banned if it helped keep pot banned.

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.

And i've seen that statement from libertarians about a billion times, and it is utter crap as well. It's just another one of their pieces of propaganda that they throw out there and cannot really prove, but repetition makes it believable in their mind.

And here we go with another false comparison to Alcohol.

"WAAAAAAAAAH!!!! They get Alcohol! I want my WEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!!!!"
