Marijuana prohibition will eventually be replaced with a system of regulation and taxation that will be so vastly superior to the current situation that future generations will wonder why marijuana was ever illegal in the first place. Marijuana will be less available to teenagers when we create age limits and allow legitimate businesses to dispense marijuana that is quality controlled and complete with potency labeling. Take control of the marijuana supply away from criminal enterprises. Stop arresting responsible adult marijuana consumers now!
How's that prohibition working? Right. Yeah. Sure, if you say so. Well, I wish you all the success of alcohol prohibition. It looks like you are well on your way.
