It's harder for a teenager to get booze than weed. That's because booze is legal and regulated.

Kids can still get it, but it requires way more effort.

I'm with Salmo. Legalize everything and let people be. Remove the prohibition, and you remove much of the profit motive. The crime that surrounds the drug trade would diminish.

Of course, if a politician was to propose such a position they'd be crucified as being pro-drug. I guess that would normally be better than pro-idiocy, but not in politics.
