""edit"" if you're a teenager what's easier to get? Beer or pot??
Trust me I was a teenager growing up in prescott and pot is way more easier to get then beer. If they put a 21 age limit on it like beer,,kids would have a way harder time getting it. As it is now your local pot dealer will sell to anyone. And not to mention the jail population would dramatically decrease and the taxes off pot could cure the deficit.
