“Today, the decision to sell or not to sell to that child is often being made by a gangster in a stairwell,” he said at a news conference. “That is completely unacceptable to us and that will be subject to serious criminal sanction.”

And now the decision to sell to that child will be made by another child who took the drug from their parents stash.  Excellent!  Way to go guys!

If you increase supply and remove the penalties for use, more people (including kids) will use it.  It's very simple math.  Why does it seem to be so difficult for the liberals to understand this.  

At least now there is a risk of prosecution, the stigma of using an illegal substance and the very real chance you'll unknowingly consume other drugs mixed into the pot to keep people away from this stuff.  Remove those barriers and use will increase.  It's naive to assume much of this supply won't make it into the developing brains of our children.
