Legalizing drugs would mean they would be more accessible to children and youth. We do not want a society where drugs are available to our children.
All parents want to keep our children away from the dangers of society. The problem is that despite our best intentions, the choice is between choosing whether they will or no contact drugs. I will. All surveys show that it is in younger sectors where greater ease of finding drugs in a ban. In this sense, what we choose is the social situation that encourages a rational knowledge of them and then decrease, if used, the associated risks. Of course, the type of restrictions on retail outlets, ages and times that apply to snuff or alcohol could and should apply with respect to other drugs such as in the Netherlands with regard to cannabis.
But we must be realistic. Legalization will not likely reduce the number of children using drugs. In our current ban situation, access to them is as easy and uncontrollable. In this sense, all studies show that the failure to lift the ban of a substance changes very slightly the overall consumption patterns. To which we can and should aspire as a society is to take control of these substances to reduce associated risks. The fact that a child uses drugs, alcohol is fed up of thirteen, or spend eight hours a day watching television, the indifference or inability of their parents is another symptom of deeper social problems.
In short, the problem of drug use among children is closely linked to the system of prohibition force. Escohotado Quoting: "By 1910, North American users of natural opiates were people of second and third age, almost all well-integrated and family-level, non-criminal incidents, around 1980 are largely teenagers, who break all expectations family and work, whose habit justifies a very high percentage of crimes committed per year. Have you changed your opiates, or rather have changed the systems of access to these substances? "
