Okay then, if pot does NO harm, then why NOT let kids smoke it?

Why don't we let kids drive, drink, have sex or shoot firearms alone? All legal for adults. All dangerous if you are not responsible.

It's not the potentially dangerous activity that causes harm but the irresponsible person. And irresponsible adults should be punished.

Kids cannot be held to the same standard as adults and must be watched until they are responsible. This is essentially what the government is doing. The drug war assumes all adults are children that need a nanny.

By labeling one activity as "dangerous", the government will go down the line to the next. They are already targeting our fast food, candy and soda. Heck, NYC effectively outlawed certain cakes and cookies with the transfat ban.

I'm not sure about you, but I'm pretty tired of being treated like a child because it's "for the children".

It isn't a matter of IF you are a fool, it is just what kind of fool you are.

Who said anything about pot being harmless? So you are setting up your straw man argument, but I'm not biting at the bait.

And since you have to ask why kids shouldn't be smoking pot it just goes to prove you are too stupid for me to continue on this conversation.

Good bye.
