NIH Study Shows Tough Regulation Can More Effectively Reduce Teen Drug Use Than Prohibition

Excerpt:

Clearly, the real reason marijuana use is now ahead of cigarette use among teens is because use of tobacco has fallen steadily over the past decade. This fall in tobacco use is largely thanks to regulation, education, taxation, and tougher age restrictions.

My Thoughts:

This is just plain common sense. Education is hugely important, which is why movements such as Truth are so powerful in curbing tobacco usage amongst everyone, particularly teens. Regulation is also hugely important, for you're able to take a product out of the hands of criminals and into the hands of more responsible managers. Street dealers have no rules or regulations; they don't require age limits or IDs - only that you're not the cops and that you got the dough. We need to regulate and tax cannabis to make it less accessible to teens and more safe for adults. Let's get it goin'!
