I've never understood the prohibitionist's argument that these amendments send the "wrong message" to children. First of all, when has this ever been used as a standard for acceptable adult behavior? Should adults no longer have sex because we don't want teenagers having sex? Should adults only partake in activities deemed appropriate for kids just so that kids aren't tempted to behave like adults?? This argument makes absolutely no sense.

Second of all, it is my experience that teenagers don't really give a shit about the messages they are getting from adults. Adults constantly send the "right" messages to kids regarding everything from eating vegetables to doing well in school, and most of them don't really listen. Most of them, in an effort to be individuals and grow into adults do just about whatever they want, regardless of messages from adults. Kids care even less about messages the government sends them.
Nausicaa Reviewed by Nausicaa on . NO LOGICAL REASON TO PUNISH ADULTS FOR USING MARIJUANA OVER ALCOHOL I read this article, and I very strongly agree with it, just thought I'd share it. http://www.mapinc.org/newsnorml/v06/n1416/a06.html That's a preview of the strongest argument opponents of Amendment 44 - - the Alcohol-Marijuana Equalization Initiative - will put forth in the last two weeks of the campaign. Don't expect an open and honest discussion about the merits of making marijuana possession legal for adults. Instead, expect every possible scare tactic related to children you Rating: 5
