Drug Policy

I understand the problem. That is a horrible way to go about it... especially with how many far easier marks for dealers there are.

That said, the "kid" is an 18-year-old man. He knew what he was doing was "wrong" (in the sense it was a violation of the law) and did it anyway. If it were a 14-year-old just hitting puberty, that's one thing. An 18-year-old is responsible enough to vote, buy a shotgun, run for school board and "join the army, burn villages and women and children after being a litterbug."

But again, I'm so glad we're wasting a ton of money on this crap. In the last 11 months, there have been nine meth labs busted in my county of 48,000 people. Before this year, there were none. We have bigger fish to fry than weed.
