You brought up an important point. On our side of the border, students and young people say that it is easier for them to get marijuana than cigarettes or alcohol. Alcohol can often be found at home or purchased at specialty stores, which are regulated. That's what we are trying to do with marijuana. There are a number of solutions but they have not yet been identified or finalized for the various aspects being examined.
Once again, I'm wondering about the age. There are many other products that are legal now and for which a legal age should be established. Why set the age at 25 for marijuana? Of course, the brain is not fully developed until then, but alcohol and cigarettes can be consumed throughout life, and the effects are immediate and cumulative.
For an adult, it is a matter of choice, and also a matter of public health and education. Every time we discuss this issue, the word “education” comes up more often than “regulation”. When you educate people, regulation ultimately seems to be less of a trigger.
Does education come up a lot? Do you think it would be a long-term solution to the legalization of marijuana?
