It’s silly saying that the carding of minors will solve the problem. How has that worked out with alcohol and cigarettes?

When you increasingly saturate an environment with drugs like marijuana, which legalizing it WILL do, you expose children in that environment to it more and more.

Since young people report that they can get pot more easily than beer or cigarettes, it seems that the best way to keep pot out of their hands is to legalize it for adults; sellers of legal drugs typically card minors, whereas sellers of illegal drugs never do.

Better than the current noncarding for marijuana.

The evidence I cite indicates that this effect is outweighed by the increased disincentives for sellers.

Should we ban for adults everything we don't want kids to do?
