No shit, buying illegal drugs requires a face to face interaction. Everything that depends even tagentially on interpersonal skills is plummeting in engagement in the generation that learned most of thier social skills through a screen.
You mean legalizing pot didn't lead to a surge in teenagers using it, but in fact the exact opposite?
You're telling me that when you end prohibition on a product and allow for ease of access and security of transaction through state sanctioned and regulated markets that underground markets dry up making illicit access almost nonexistent and ultimately drive down use of said product among demographics not allowed possession of the product under the law due to fear of businesses losing their licence given to them by the state?
Go figure.
cannabis is no longer sold by the teenager down the street that drives the firebird trans-am.
it is sold in cannabis shops, and no adults will sell it to kids.
that is why less kids have access. and it is why kids slam cars into cannabis shops to steal it.
Yeah my dealer never ID’ed me. Legal businesses do. Go figure. The hardest part of smoking a joint as a teen was buying the tobacco.
