This is 100% many steps towards incarceration; against the realization that addiction is a health issue; and, a grift by the retail industry. Don’t go for the twist, NO on 36!

The carceral system clearly does not care about "reforming" children. If it did, why are so many people who were arrested at 15 or younger stuck in the system?
