I suspect the kids would be discouraged if they had to trade down to legal pot. ;)

Bernhard Goetz, now 65, arrested for selling $30 worth of pot in NY subway. The article is mainly about the '84 shooting, no details on how he got entrapped now.
One of the first thoughts to arise in my uncaffeinated brain this morning:
