Good.
Youth that uses small amounts of drugs should never be treated and punisched like criminals as that just doesnt help,it only helps making them future criminals .
Let us guide our youngsters in the right direction,and lets look at what caused the druguse instead of thinking it started with the drugs.


I agree that young adults should not be punished as harshly as ...older adults. But we still cannot just let this all slide. They need to seriously know that this is going down the wrong path.

Most laws are not really about actually breaking them. It is if you are willing to break that law, what else are you willing to just willingly disobey? This law is basically telling kids it is ok to do drugs. Who cares? They say Marijuana is a gateway drug. That is true. Maybe not in all cases, but in many once that drug is not doing it for you anymore, some go on to other drugs.

 

 

But are laws against small usage of drugs needed when it doesnt keep the young adults away from it? Most it does is bringing our young adults in a dangerous environment amongst people who are real criminals.

Marijuana is a gateway drug but so is alcohol and other legal substances and at which lenghts we should take our freedom of consuming away to make sure we are never tempted to try stronger things?

I personally think we should offer more guidance to people with bad druguse cause fingerpointing could make them think they cant change.

But i agree with you that we need to let them know what a bad outcome druguse can have.
