The two guests' perspectives differ so radically that it is sometimes hard for them

to engage each other's arguments--even before WFB adds philosophical libertarianism to the mix ("after all, no one is forcing anyone to take marijuana or forcing anyone to take alcohol or forcing anyone to take heroin"). Dr. Rosenthal: "Studies that Phoenix did in New York were showing that... anywhere from 30 to 70 per cent of high-school students were getting stoned three to five times a week. If that kind of regular drunkenness or regular self-medication goes on, I think that it interferes with the kind of maturing process that needs to go on, and we see many youngsters--by no means all, but we can't argue this issue by looking at best outcomes ... --fall apart and regress toward infantilism." Mr. Novak: "I believe that marijuana, like alcohol, should be legal for adults; I believe it should be illegal for kids. I don't think that will stop the problem. I'm not naive. Kids drink. Kids are going to smoke whether it's legal or illegal.... Marijuana [is] a weed. It grows easily and in some parts of the country it grows very successfully. It is said to be the largest cash crop in California."
