But, when it comes to substances like cocaine, heroin or crystal meth, I do not think doing what you're suggesting is a great idea only because of just how addictive they are. These substances are substantially different from marijuana or even alcohol from an addictive standpoint, aren't they?
Would significant resources going into early education about the dangers of the addictive and life destroying nature of these drugs be a better use of money? Kids from a very young age should be being taught in school maybe a little more aggressively just how bad these substances are.

I dont know how much that actually matters. How many kids did you know who smoked and drank in High School?
We know how bad those things are, now they can smoke weed and eventually do coke and once their cash runs low they can switch it up to meth.
Maybe the legalization will make it totally uncool and they'll do something else instead. Except that didnt really apply to smokes and booze so who knows.
