So what's the alternative? There are several models for the legal provision of recreational drugs. They include prescription by doctors, consumption at licensed premises or even sale on a similar basis to alcohol and tobacco, with health warnings and age limits. If this prospect appals you, consider the fact that in the US today, many teenagers say they find it easier to buy cannabis than beer.

Now that's a reason to keep pot illegal, suppose kids shift from pot towards beer -- the consequences could be dire.

Kids have already been raiding Daddies & Mummies liquor cabinets
and more are using alcohol than ever before. This is due to the
anti-cannabis propaganda spewed by the DEA. I don't think either is
a good drug for teens to use as the brain can get used to these
chemical inputs in a way it cannot later in life.
Just like friendship in childhood and first loves in adolescence can
be more affecting at those times of life, drug use can be more affecting
to the child and youth. The school curriculum is hard enough and very
few young people will find their functions enhanced enough by any
drug to get the knowledge they will need faster.

IMO
later
