    It is true that some drugs are very dangerous and can ruin people’s lives. One of the most dangerous ones is alcohol, which is legal. One of the least dangerous ones is cannabis, which is still illegal in most places and at a federal level in the USA.

    So maybe (just maybe) this is not about protecting people at all and never was?

    Are all merchants who sell alcohol bastards?

      Dont get me wrong, im all for legalisation of weed and maybe some other lighter stuff. But it should be regulated, similar model to alcohol. Strict punishment if you get caught selling anything addictive to a minor.

        There barely is a punishment for selling alcohol to minors. It isn’t even a crime. You might just get your license revoked and pay a little fee. At least that how it is in Germany.
