Well Im still not quite 30 years old but I know that the only times I ever got busted (for anything) was before I was 20, yeah kids are dumb.
One of the problems is that these kids getting busted arent activists or even very knowlegable about the war being waged against us all. Most kids around the age of 15-18 are more concerned with how they are gonna get those new shoes, does that cute guy/girl in history class like me, when are mom and dad gonna stop fighting? I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Most kids who smoke (or use any other drug) do it for the escape that it offers from whatever their problems might be, regardless of whether they are real problems or not.
I guess this was my long-winded way of agreeing with the article. :P
Thanks for the post Veggii
