You seem to have some type of bias against teenagers. Did you get beat up a lot in high school? Not all teenagers are poor-decision makers. Maybe if you live in the hood. A lot of these teenagers have shitty parents who are drugged up as well or alcoholics. So they grow up in a poverty-filled home in a terrible neighborhood with irresponsible parents. That wouldn't be their fault, they're just victims of unfortunate circumstances.

Oh, no you don't. Answer this question. Given the fact that teens routinely get access to alcohol (legal age 21), why would they have trouble getting weed if it was legal?
uhm actually its mostly the well brought up middle class or well off families that have teenagers that do drugs

Oh yes cause 90% of minors are living a shitty poor life In the hood, how can you not see the flaws in your statements?
Based on what research? Your "personal observations"?
I think you're the one on meth. Probably the person selling it to the teenagers around your area.

Time to close yet another thread.
Rich kids from Alameda and Contra Costa counties in California were more likely to use alcohol and other drugs than their peers from poor communities, according to data from California's Healthy Kids Survey.
The Contra Costa Times reported Feb. 19 that disposable income, disconnected families, and pressure to succeed all contribute to drug use among upscale youth, adding that parents in these communities add to the problem by denying that it occurs. “Perfection is very, very valued in affluent communities,” noted Madeline Levine, author of “The Price of Privilege.”
Children as young as 14 are experimenting with cannabis, ecstasy, speed, and even heroin and cocaine, local drug agencies confirmed this week.
The revelations come in the wake of a national report by the School Health Education Unit which said children in rural and affluent areas were more likely to slip into drug abuse than their contemporaries in the inner cities.
While 19% of boys and 16% of girls in urban areas had experimented with drugs by the age of 15, the figure rose to 21% in affluent areas, and 27% in rural areas.
In Surrey the figure is 37%, while 6.5% of 11-12 year olds had either taken drugs or been present when someone else had.
Children who come from wealthy families are more likely to use alcohol and other substances than those from poor neighborhoods. Most "rich kids" will turn to alcohol for several reasons:
Pressure to succeed
Disposable income
Disjointed families
Desire to be perfect
Drug use among upscale youth can be challenging. Getting help is not always an option because parents in wealthy communities sometimes deny that a problem exists.
Primary counselor Chris Logan says heroin, “seems to be the thing to do right now.” These are not street kids, he stresses, but kids from middle-income families.
Teens raised in affluent homes display the highest rates of depression, anxiety, and substance abuseaccording to a recent article in Monitor on Psychology, the APA‘s monthly magazine.
One of our recent posts dealt with some of the issues unique to teens and drugs. In addition to the issues we’d already mentioned, the article named a number of reasons for the high prevalence of mental-health issues among affluent teens. Among them were an increasingly narcissistic society, overbearing parents, and an common attitude of perfectionism.
Each of these reasons are likely contributors to the prevalence of mental health issues among upper-middle-class (and above) teens. Still, as far as I’m concerned, the main take home message of the article is this:

So lets recap, if weed was legal kids would not smoke spice, well if weed was legal then I might as well assume that thered be no more other drug usage, shit maybe no tobacco cause we all know its not addicting and many teens just love to smoke regardless of having access to weed, I guess nobody would ever touch spice again not even the hardcore addicts if bud was legal, cause we all know spice high is exactly the same as bud 
i love how much you love me..what is this your 30th account now?? didnt realize i could mean so much to someone.
