A) Addicts, gangsters and childhood peers passing around drugs on street corners. The Drug War status quo.
B) Regulated, licensed and taxed responsible adult supervised sales and distribution. Legalization.

Gov. Corbett prefers to trust the morals and ethic of gangsters to best protect Pennsylvania's children from drug sales.

I will not buy that one from them. There are plenty of actual criminals who could feed that industry----if there was room.
