How did I miss the point of your bringing ALCOHOL into the discussion? Your argument is that we should put up with weed because we put up with alcohol, and I just pointed out that that is a childish argument.
Is there some OTHER reason why alcohol is relevant?
"Legalization for adults IS the most effective way to reduce access to marijuana by young people, through harnessing the power of the market: young people report that they can currently get illegal-for-all pot more easily than legal-for-adults beer or cigarettes."
So you are saying that making it legal will reduce usage? And you honestly expect anyone to take you seriously?
"The less the cost, the less the stealing. How many boozers steal, rather than panhandle or collect cans, to feed their addiction?"
I don't care what the bottom price is. The worthless dopers won't have a job anyway. They won't be able to afford it no matter the price.

Wrong - as I've explained, the point is to see if what you posted was a principle or merely a rationalization - if the former, you'll appply it consistently, including to the drug alcohol.

It's a fact that young people report that they can currently get illegal-for-all pot more easily than legal-for-adults beer or cigarettes. Whether you take facts seriously is up to you.

Which part of "less" did you not understand?
