Follow-up 🧵 to yesterday's on kids being safer with legal drugs. Walk this through with me:

I have a 13-year-old son. As far as I know he's never been offered drugs. We're teaching him about the risks of drug use.

But right now he could go buy illegal drugs. (1)
My son can buy drugs just as easily at 13 as a 33-year-old can. Not good! There are no age restrictions on the street. No one is checking ID. So already his access is greater under drug prohibition.

Legalization at least puts the vast majority of drugs behind a counter. (2)
Now, he could still get drugs. But I've heard many people comment that alcohol was harder to get than cannabis in high school. They could get both, they just had to put more effort into finding someone with an older brother to buy their booze. Cannabis was everywhere. (3)
