    Pot: Why not legalize it?

    Thursday, July 24th, 2008 at 3:42 pm | By: Radical Russ

    globeandmail.com: Pot: Why not legalize it?
    Sounds swell – until you think about it. Then the problems start. Here’s one. What about the kids? Do we really want a lot more 15-year-olds getting stoned? Okay, we could prohibit pot for minors. Can you explain why that would work any better than it does with booze and cigarettes?

    This question supposes that a whole lot more kids would use pot if it were legal.  When 83.9% of high school seniors say it’s “fairly easy” or “very easy” to get pot, it makes me think that all the kids who want to try pot already are.  Nearly 42% of them in the US report having used marijuana at least once in their lives and the government estimates 5% of them are regular pot smokers.
