6. children under 18
are not generally set up to handle this and parents and adults are supposed to set an example on this and in respecting the law.

Cocaine, tobacco, and heroin have certifiable addictive issues and cause other problems. What if that heroin was one of the "tainted" heroin that is going around for example? Can a 17 year judge drinking and driving as well as someone over 21 most of the time? Do we even know fully the effects of some of these drugs on still developing brains and bodies?

There may be a legitimate argument (I dont agree with it but can see the other side) that some of these drugs should be legalized for adults just as alcohol and tobacco are, or arent any worse than those two legal products are.

However, can anyone seriously believe it is responsible and correct to share drugs with those under 18?
