    fun fact about prohibition: it’s harder for kids to get booze than it is other drugs because the booze guy has motivation to weed out underage customers whereas the coke guy goes to the same prison for selling to adults as he does for selling to 8 year olds. I was able to get weed, coke and dope in high school pretty easily.

      That has been true for decades.

      I remember reading an interview with one of the members of the Grateful Dead saying that they never really drank before they did a tour in Canada. Because they were under 21, booze was harder to get than drugs in the US, but the drinking age in Canada at the time was 18, so they were able to easily get booze while there.
