I am not a parent. I would take exception, however, to the implicit suggestion that those of us who are not parents somehow don't care about the welfare of young people. I think that's clearly not true. I have young people in my life; I care about them very much.
I think Mr. Jones has answered the question sufficiently to point out that if these kinds of provisions worked to the benefit of young people, to protect young people, then I think we would be having a very different conversation. The evidence is there, simply, that they don't. I think raising that fact, which is well-supported by many, many studies, does not somehow lead to the conclusion that we don't care about protecting young people from the harms that can be associated with drug use. Of course we do, and that's actually what's motivating our concern against this kind of legislation, that this is actually going to do damage to young people. It's ill-thought-out legislation, and that's one of the reasons for it.
