IT'S FOR A PAL

Re Pot-Purchasing Age Should Match Drinking Age, PM says (Dec. 16):
Through my work as a lawyer and social worker, I am aware that large
numbers of teens are already using alcohol and weed on a regular basis
- - and both are "illegal."

How can we possibly not expect that a "legal" consumer of marijuana at
age 18 or 19 will not trickle weed down to friends, acquaintances or
siblings, as is already the case with alcohol?!

We may unwittingly make them "dealers" to their friends.
