I don't think anyone in the pro-marijuana movement would be behind you on this one. A child's brain is growing, so things like nicotine, alcohol, THC, etc can have permanent and irreversible effects, which isn't necessarily true of adults. Children are also not responsible or mature enough to make educated decisions about things like cigarettes and drugs...another reason society makes the collective decision to keep them out of the hands of children.
Isn't being a parent today hard enough without society abandoning parents and opening access to marijuana to children? Should I assume tobacco and alcohol should also be accessible?
I think giving marijuana to a growing child is the epitome of irresponsibility.

It is not really about whether it should or shouldn't be available. It is. Even if it is not sold in the store to a child, they can still get it. Many do everyday. They can also get porn, knives and guns. Where I grew many had all of those things. And there were many laws and steroid pumping cops to go along with them. We need cops that give us directions and solve homicides. The parents role will never be changed. They must educate their children.
The only way to solve the problem using the methods you seem to support would be a world like the matrix. Where you could control every aspect of life. It is just not possible. Prison is just not a solution for anything.
