Kids will get their hands on it either way, just like they do with taxed and regulated alcohol, it will be no better or worse than it is now.
Just tell it like it is,pot is a billion dollar industry and by taxing it the government can get a piece of the pie.

I'm all for taxing it. Its a voluntary revenue stream, there are taxes on smokes and taxes on booze, the only right thing is taxes on grass. Package it up, mandate who can grow it with licenses and put it for sale in liquor stores.
If you want to grow it, treat it like a wine kit. You can buy the kit, grow it but you can't sell it.
If you're caught selling it illegally to kids, then its off to a work farm for a summer.
I don't care about the other stuff that was mentioned before, even thought since it is mind altering you shouldn't be driving with the stuff. But there are studies that grass is not good for a developing mind, so I'm not excepting of the whole they're going to get it anyways.
With the money made on taxes, more can be spent fighting the other worse drugs out there in terms of education and bullets for drug dealers.
