Kids already have easy access to to the stuff and the cops aren't doing this. Places that have decriminalized the stuff haven't found it to negatively affect attendance etc-in fact places that have opened up legal ways to buy it(different thing to decriminalizing) have found it makes it harder for young people to get it as it becomes like beer etc.

Removing the income from crims, increasing the average age of first use, removing the most likely source of exposure to harder drug, removing a barrier to seeking treatment for those with issues, increased tax take. All these things sound like good outcomes to me, not saying I think pot is good at all but that the prohibition model has failed.

I have been told that one of the things standing in the way of law change is the lack of practical tests to show if people are currently high v were high last night. Having had to fire several people for drug use I can see the importance of the distinction
