Until you have experience getting carded as a minor for MJ then you might as well drop that line of yammering.

I've never contested your factoid that minors can get pot more easily than booze or cigs so you can stop yammering about that too. Unfortunately your factoid even if true doesn't add any weight to your speculation that having lots of legal sellers will somehow crowd out the illegal sellers to minors. MJ will remain easy to grow under your legalization scheme and it will be easier to obtain seeds depending on how easily the legal sellers get them. As is the case in my area today, a couple kids will grow and supply and the rest will come from the Mexicans.

Or are you passing off as fact your speculation that the economic incentives of legal pot sellers are qualitatively different from those of legal alcohol sellers?

Until you have experience getting carded as a minor for MJ then you might as well drop that line of yammering.

So that's a yes.

I've never contested your factoid that minors can get pot more easily than booze or cigs

No, you didn't show the backbone to either contest or concede it - instead you omitted it from your replies in order to mischaracterize the obvious conclusion as "speculation."

Unfortunately your factoid even if true doesn't add any weight to your speculation that having lots of legal sellers will somehow crowd out the illegal sellers to minors.

Of course it does - minors don't have the purchasing power to sustain a significant black market, as witness the nonexistence of a significant black market in minor-desired alcohol, and legal sellers of booze and cigs usually don't sell to minors because their legality for adults creates a clear incentive to not break the laws against doing so.

MJ will remain easy to grow under your legalization scheme

And stoner teens are known for their green thumbs.

and it will be easier to obtain seeds depending on how easily the legal sellers get them.

So let's make sure that "depending" keeps seeds out of minors' hands.

As is the case in my area today, a couple kids will grow and supply and the rest will come from the Mexicans.

Are you claiming that a couple kids grow enough to supply a significant fraction of your area? That's hard to believe - have any evidence?
