The same way you get them to abstain from cigarettes, booze, and sex.
Perhaps you can watch Reefer Madness with them

All through HS I never did pot of alcohol. I suffered from a case of “fear of dad.” I’m now almost 52 and have still never tried pot. I didn’t drink alcohol until I was 20.

Same as alcohol, you cant.You keep a lid on it (good pun heh?) through involved parenting, as in watching your kids.
For sure you are correct hat in some instances you can't. Some kids will go off the deep end with drugs or alcohol.

If you are going to wait until they reach their teens to instill proper morals and behavior, you have failed as a parent.

It make any difference if and when
To buy and possess legally you to be 21 anywhere I’ve seen it legal or quasi legal

When my son was 12 or 13, I took him on a tour through a very trashy local trailer park.
I told him “all of these people smoke pot.”

This is a Portland article
Raising kids in Portland from what I’ve witnessed there is a bigger challenge than pot or alcohol
If pot were legal in say Northwest Florida and illegal in Portland you’d still be way better off in northwest Florida or South Alabama

You don’t get them to abstain and that is the very purpose of removing restrictions on marijuana. The propaganda getting young people to become marijuana addicts is the same as the propaganda steering them in to all manner of sexual perversions. A debauched population is easily controlled.

You convince them marijuana is the drug of their parents' generation and, thus, it is extremely uncool for them to also be using it.

Most companies are not going to change their policies to accommodate it's use.

You have to drill it into their head starting at a young age,
My son, who is in his late twenties, has never had a drink, smoked a cigarette or touched s drug.
I started on him in 6th grade and never let up.

On a profession note, I’ve seen way too much Marajuana Emesis Syndrome. Feel free to google it.
