This guy reminds teachers they forgot to give out homework..
I mean if you want to get specific what I really want is to remind police that doing drugs is illegal and they should focus on busting those people...instead of kids having fun on scooters
Why is doing drugs illegal?
In the US it's so they can give black people felonies for being black so they can't vote.
That's literally what started the war on drugs. Well, blacks and hippies.
This is also why alcohol, which is a way more harmful drug to others than all of the illegal drugs[1], is legal.

Because they won't share with me :(
Because of the law
It seems you're stuck on Step 4 in Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development:
Do you mind me asking how old you are?
edit: never mind it says it in the meme you created.
"Drugs are illegal because drugs are illegal"
Kids having fun on scooters doing illegal things.
One is a felony the other a misdemeanor
Fun fact: Vancouver is in Canada, and in Canada there's no such thing as a felony or a misdemeanor.
This guy lawyers
riding scooter at 12 seems to be illegal too in vancouver, and people have fun on drugs too, so seems to me both things are pretty much interchangeable in your argument
Busting drug addicts will do ZERO to help the drug and crime problems. Even law enforcers will tell you that.
Those problems are so much more complex, and require fundamental reforms in social policies, mental healthcare, education, youth programmes, city planning etc. And then there's the issue of dealing with the gangs, smugglers and foreign organized syndicates bringing the stuff into the country.
Kids driving recklessly on scooters (which are often modified) are:
A) A danger to themselves
B) A danger to pedestrians they could crash into
C) A serious danger to cars that swerve to avoid them when they go out on the main road.
