The Effect of Marijuana Prohibition on Children: Most children who use marijuana find that it is easier to get than cigarettes or alcohol. By prohibiting marijuana a very lucrative black market has been created. It has become so immense in the last 30 years that huge amounts of children find the ease and rewards of selling drugs to be a compelling alternative to working hard in school (25% of Florida children do not graduate). In fact 24% of all drug dealers today are between the ages of 8 and 17 and they are financially motivated to get your kids to do drugs. For parents who do not want their kids to smoke marijuana simply do not support any politician that think criminals should regulate marijuana instead of our government through licensed outlets. FYI: Cigarettes and alcohol are almost always the precursors to illegal drug use, so the most sure fire way to keep your kids off marijuana is to keep them from trying tobacco and alcohol.
