This is one of those issues with an inexorable supply and demand dynamic that is never going to change much. I don't see why people want to get in a huff over it. Social attitudes toward drug use steadily soften over time, and that probably won't change.

One thing I learned in Amsterdam where kids could buy beer at 16 and booze and women at 18; Dutch youth really didn't care much. They didn't go wild, you didn't see them drinking in groups in public, you didn't see knots of them in the Red Light District.

They could do what they liked whenever they wanted. So most didn't bother, LOL.

That's really interesting. Thank for looking that up.

I sure tried it, constantly, freshman and sophomore year in high school. I'm immune to THC like my mom, but from what I saw from those years partying (unsuccessfully on my part) was that alcohol is the MUCH greater danger- especially when combined with driving.
