well children are not full citizens and have limited rights. they don't vote, don't join the army, can't drink, etc. lots of things that are legal for adults are illegal for children. so marijuana could be one of them.
but look, marijuana is illegal and children are still smoking it, by your own admission, right? look, having illegal weed makes it easier for children to get-- if it was cheap, legal, and regulated, it would be harder for them to get-- just like alcohol.
anyway, people who want to get fucked up are going to get fucked up with *anything* they can get, legal or illegal. and abandoned and neglected children are going to get fucked up MORE. as i've said before, it's a public health issue, it's not a criminal issue. simple as that.
if you're interested in the government protecting children, i agree with that-- but sending the cops it's not how you create good mental health and functional families.

I don't mean government have to control, drive your life. But do you think laws are useless ? I hope no. To live together, you have to do concessions, to keep your liberty and to not disturb people liberty. If you don't want to do concession, you could also live on a desert island. Concession doesn't mean sacrifice. Are you agree ?
Concerning the fact taht government are made of people, I think it's what we call "Democracy". We don't have a better way to rule the world for the moment.
I don't mean all the people are stupid and need someone else to tell them what to do. But thery 're not equal at the hands of drugs. And some of them need to be informed, educated,... And I think you forgot there are kids on earth.
I wonder what you think about kids who take drugs. Don't you think we have to preserve them from that shit ? Believe me, there are more and more young kids (11-12 years) who start smoking pot in my country. Because their parents have renounced to educate them. Do you guess who is asked to fix the problem ? I will not explain why they 've renounced, it'd be too long.
I think we're not living on a perfect world where all the people are responsible, matured, self-righteous... Maybe it's because I'm french and cartesian. But it doesn't mean I want it to be ruled like in China...
Don't blame me, I'm a pighead.
