Anti-pot activists are good at scaring people into thinking that if we "legalise" marijuana that their kids will soon be buying a 20 pack of joints down at the local kwik-e-mart.
Decriminalisation leaves it to us potheads to sort out amongst ourselves withour fear of prosecution.

Kids can't go down to the store and buy alcohol, but it's a legal intoxicant. However, kids can go to the store and buy NyQuil, a legal intoxicant. Yet they don't. Please notice the lack of social taboos against cold medicine.
