In all honesty, as a teenager it was much easier to find pot on the streets than cigarettes or alcohol. Kids in school were selling it to other classmates. Because tobacco and alcohol are behind store counters and not being manufactured on the streets, they were hard to get and felt "more wrong" to acquire since you either had to steal stuff from parents or had to convince an adult to sell to you/buy for you -- both are issues with responsible adults/parenting, not kids having easy access. If you don't want your kids stealing your medical weed, you might want to responsibly lock it up (same goes for leaving cigarettes on the counter and alcohol in unlocked cabinets). Awesome post.

Their main goal has been weapons and tobacco at least down here in KY tobacco use is still high among teens. But they do search them for tobacco and they take it then notify the parents. Not as bad as they do for marijuana but still they are searching our kids in many schools. Not that Im for it or that Im happy about it, its just happening without consent.
