You all speak of doing something in order to prepare or make a young one responsible but you forget, the reason there is a law in the first place. Think about the argument that you make, "You comply because it's the law, would you have agreed to the law before it was changed?"
There is a phrase, "The Law is THE LAW!!" This simply means that *common sense* a people cannot police themselves!! That's why we have the law, numerous religions and activists who strive to change towards evolution!!
Drugs have remained illegal for long not because we simply like it that way but because (call it puritanical!!) we don't want the future to turn into stoners!! And I know, alcohol has been a fundamental part of the civil society since time immemorial, (that's not an exaggeration, alcohol is important to keep people from rioting!!)
For as long as president after president, activist after activist does not change the law, that will not be because of influence, because we did impeach Clinton who had a lot of influence, it will be because it's the right thing we know to do, until we find out otherwise. That is why THE LAW IS THE LAW, because it's always right.
