Seriously? Wow... I find that remarkable. Here in Canada (as I'm sure it is for most of the western world), about 60% of kids in highschools smoke weed. In my school it's probably more like 70. And a LOT of just little grade nines, like 14 years old. It has little to do with enjoying the herb (not that I'm condoning it, I'm going to leave my own views on marijuana aside for the moment) and everything to do with "looking cool"...

It's easier to get weed here then it is to get beer, and probably easier to get weed here then it is in Holland. Despite the fact it's legal there.
