Regulation over prohibition

As a currently enrolled high school student I have seen first hand how easy it is to get some grass, especially at this age. And it doesn't matter how heavy the laws for prohibition are, kids will still find a way to get what they want. This can easily be compared to the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s. Prohibition only leads to increased popularity and illegal involvement; for instance, the black market. The same is with marijuana, prohibition only increases involvement amongst the youth of the nation because the idea of getting away with something you shouldn't is one of the main reasons it is such a common phenomena. On a sidenote: alcohol is incredibly dangerous as opposed to weed for the obvious reason that you can drink yourself to death, but it is literally impossible to smoke yourself to death with cannabis. You can with tobacco over long term use, but cannabis is actually being used to treat lung cancer as one of many ailments being treated with the use of cannabis in the state of Colorado, and other states with cannabis currently legalized for medicinal purposes.
