FACT:  High school students consistently report having easier access to marijuana than to

           alcohol, and according to the federal government marijuana is “universally available” to

           them. By making marijuana legal for adults and treating it like alcohol, it will take it out

           of the black market (where it is unregulated and available to young people) and put it in

           a legal market (where it is controlled and only available to adults with valid ID). Since

           young people will  undoubtedly continue to be curious about marijuana and alcohol, we

           must educate them about their relative harms in an open and honest manner.
