So don’t be. What you’re saying is that nobody should be able to be in that room, because you know better than they what’s best for them.

You don’t seem to recognize that, at its enactment, drug prohibition had absolutely nothing to do with any sort of literal harm drugs caused to their users. Look up the horrifically racist excuse that was used for making cannabis illegal.

I watched the documentary on blacks and weed on Netflix. I'm not an expert. I have some idea.

I do not care about racism in weed or the past. I'm speaking purely from my own experience. I'm also speaking on weed's influence on my future children. Weed does not exist on a vacuum. It doesn't exist for only users and not at all for non-users.

Who are you to restrict your future children’s access once they’re adults?
We pass on learnings to our children. Even when they’re adults, they are our children.

You can’t possibly think kids having easy access to drugs is good.

If you do, you’re just speaking like an addict and I would suggest some help.

I don’t think kids having easy access to lots of things is a good idea. However, I think adults having easy access to those same things is fine.

Why would you bring up that straw-man unless you think that you should still be able to control your children’s choices after they become adults? They may be your descendants, but when they are no longer children, you don’t get more than an advisory role in their choices.

"Learnings." Your English is a bit strange. You are not a native speaker I take it?

In my part of the world, legalization has made it harder for kids to get pot, not easier.
