Criticism of the top of my head:
- They are explicitly not selling to 18 or younger kids. Where did you get this idea?
- The current system of keeping the drug illegal has been ineffective in keeping drug out of kids' hands. Part of the reasoning for legalization is the capability to keeping it out of minors hands like alcohol at LCBO.
- To be honest, I'm not entirely sure youth unemployment won't go down with or without legal weed.
1) Where did I say they were selling to kids under 18?
My thesis is as follows:
- If you are 18 years, 1 day old, you are legally able to purchase marijuana
- Therefore, approximately half of Grade 12 students will be eligible to purchase marijuana before graduating, given that half will turn 18 before graduating (ballpark based on June graduation date)
- Therefore, there will be high schoolers who can legally buy weed
- From there, you have to be naive if you think they won't share or buy for friends or sell to younger students in lower grades who cannot yet legally purchase
2) The current system is ineffective in keeping drugs out of kids hands. OK. So the answer is to then make marijuana more widely available? What? You don't think 19 year olds buy alcohol from the LCBO for their 17 year old friends or siblings?
