Why are Nevada's marijiuna laws for minors so harsh


Why are Nevada's marijiuna laws for minors so harsh?
Honestly, if you're under 21, it's an automatic felony, but otherwise, it's a misdemeanor! Why are Nevada lawmakers ruining college student's lives over a stupid mistake! What's the point of the law anyway? Shouldn't minors get a little leniency, or should it at least be the same punishment? gorrilaschoiceuk, how about treatment and expungement opportunities instead of ruining your kids lives?

Answer 1 :
when you are young your brain is still growing/developing. Weed turns your brain to mush over time as it is... so i guess the good people in nevada thought they'd try to protect their children for as long as they can. it's called a deterrent. they hope that the punishment will put you off comitting the crime.
Answer 2 :
I guess the idea is that adults over 21 are better capable of handling recreational drugs responsibly, and thus shouldn't be punished as harshly. But I do agree that declaring anybody a felon (and thus a danger to society) merely for a substance he chooses to put inside his own body, is counterproductive and unjust.
Answer 3 :
I say lock the druggies up.
