You never did answer my question. Should the government make it legal for 10-year-olds to smoke marijuana for their medical condition? Let's make it easy -- ALL ages.

Should it be legal for a 10 year old to take any narcotic pain medication?

That happens to be a controversial subject right now, but not for the reason you think.

Drugs are tested on adults. Many studies do not include children. So it's more a lack of data than anything else.

Yes, if the pain medication is approved by the FDA for use by children, if it is prescribed by a licensed physician, obtained through a licensed pharmacy, and administered by a healthcare professional (or responsible adult).

Californis Proposition 215 allows an adult "patient" to smoke medical marijuana when provided merely with a recommendation from a doctor. I am asking you if you believe this wondrous medicine should be available in this manner to California children of all ages?
