I'm not entirely sure what your argument is. Are you saying we need to create an environment where the choice to consume neither marijuana nor alcohol is accepted? That just seems totally contrary to the human condition. I don't think the problem is the lack of that environment, it's that there's an innate animal desire to alter reality and currently alcohol is leading the pack in mind-altering substances.

Regarding the human condition: "History shows that people have always used intoxicants. In every age, in every part of the world, people have pursued intoxication with plants, alcohol, and other mind-altering substances. In fact, this behavior has so much force and persistence that it functions much like our drives for food, sleep, and sex. This "fourth drive," says psychopharmacologist Ronald K. Siegel, is a natural part of our biology, creating the irrepressible demand for intoxicating substances." http://www.amazon.com/Intoxication-Universal-Drive-Mind-Altering-Substances/dp/1594770697 http://www.amazon.com/Intoxication-Universal-Drive-Mind-Alte...
