Unlike alcohol or Oxycontin, marijuana is not physically addictive. I'd love to see documentation on the addiction rates, they certainly don't mirror what I see. When I was in High School (admittedly decades ago), it was easier to get pot than beer. Liquors stores have licenses and a physical presence to maintain, they care ... dealers do not.

Personally, I prefer the liquor store model to the pharmacy one; but I'll take what I can get.
Wrong. Marijuana is physically addictive. See this article in psychology today.

Recent studies also indicate that the younger you use pot, the more likely you are to have a psychotic episode later.

If you do a quick google search, you'll find about 40 million articles about the increase in pot use among teenagers after the passage of prop 103 in california.
