Is society weakened?

Mary Katharine's argument, that when regulated by the state marijuana will be harder to get, is an argument I have heard kids make. When I did child protection work, teens told me that marijuana was easier to get than alcohol. Marijuana was illegal and alcohol was state regulated. What was your experience?
