This article points out that 74% of the persons arrested for marijuana crimes are under 30 years of age and that 25% are 18 years old or younger. Youth is a time of experimentation. Use is more apt to be in cars or public places like parks rather than at home where parents may discover their transgressions. It is argued that incarceration, should not be the penalty for such behavior. Instead, rules similar to those governing cigarettes and alcohol should be implemented.
