By proposing such a stiff sentence, the Liberals are essentially acknowledging, that legalization and increased access to marijuana, will inevitably mean more minors will be using it. The 14 year maximum sentence is beyond what far more serious crimes get, however the Liberals can point to it and state that they are doing everything they can to control the sale of pot. The reality is that once the market is freely opened, just like cigarettes and alcohol, the young will find the means to access it, and the harsh deterrent for those who sell it won't even come close to slowing their access.Why would anyone think including the government that if the young can gain ready access to pot in an illegal market, that the access wouldn't increase in a legal market
