Because children do not have the mental development needed to make the
rational choice about the medical and social effects of drug use.


I would arrest, try and execute any person who provided recreational drugs
to children, whether it was smoked, drunk, or injected. That includes
alcoholic drinks. Teens can give a drunk a few dollars for beer and get all
the alcohol they want. If the penalty was death, the children would not be
able to get the drunk to buy them beer or hard liquor for the bottle as
payment.
Same thing for the drug pusher selling to children. If you're 18, and want
drugs, it should be cheap, the black-market makes drugs expensive and makes
the gang violence.

Right now, high drug prices drive crime, from burglary to prostitution for
users and turf wars for the sellers.

Public intoxication should result in arrest and time in the "tank" and OD,
you die, no extraordinary tax money should be spent to save lives that were
unwanted and discarded.
