Wrong. When your supplier also peddles his wares into my kids or grandkids hands, it is my business what you do. Society, yes even free ones like this, depend on basic laws and societal standards to exist. The reason this country is falling apart is because we are becoming a lawless, anything goes society, and like Rome and any other society before it, unless we stick to our foundational laws and standards, this one will fall too.
Say, like US federal law before 1937?

Wait. So, if the local gun dealer sells guns to my kids, I lose the right to no unreasonable search and seizure? My second amendment rights go away?

Indeed. And we as a society have determined that there is an appropriate age for guns, smokes and booze, and that sellign to those below that age is illegal... but that this does not mean that those above that age are automatically assumed criminals.
What's wrogn with using the same sort of laws for pot as we have for booze... and vice versa?
25 million Americans have illegally smoked pot in the past year, and 15 million in the past month. A few hopeful posters here to the contrary, we don't (yet) have the national mentality to actually prosecute this and send all these people to prison.
So we continue to do what's been failing for decades. The few traffickers we catch go to prison, a few hundred thousand particularly unlucky or stupid users who get caught usually get off with community service and court costs, and the other 24.5 million dopers break the law and discover that nothing happens.
This is the death of our foundational laws and standards. Not lack of law, but surfeit of law such that people learn empirically that the law is BS.
