21. Excuse Me! CHILDREN would be forced by PARENTS!

Maybe 100% voluntary by adults, but what of the kids?!! A 7 year old (or 4 or whatever age) can NOT give informed consent if the persons responsible for their very lives, safety and shelter are calling the "shots"!

And what of other euphorics? Will painkillers still work? If an adult finds that they cannot get to sleep because sleeping pills no longer work, what then?

Bad idea all the way around!
