Young people have been reporting since well before any state had legalized that they could get marijuana almost as easily as cigarettes or beer, although the latter two are much more widespread among adults. This evidence indicates that the best way of keeping a drug away from young people is to legalize it for adults - which gives its sellers an economic incentive to confine their sales to adults, namely the risk of losing their legal adult market.

If you have any evidence that legalization has lowered demand or use in any age group like you NORML types claimed, I’d love to see it.

I've already supplied more evidence than you ... howzabout you take a turn?

That’s not what I asked for. Not conjecture about what might happen, but what actually has happened. I doubt you’ll like the results if you look at what a failure legalization has been compared to the pie in the sky leftist propaganda.

“Federal and state surveys and the New England Journal of Medicine report that teen marijuana use dropped a little in Colorado.” - https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3718542/posts

This is already getting old but: Results suggest that legalization of recreational marijuana did not increase marijuana use for youth who did not use marijuana but did increase use in youth who were already using.

So you’ve been debunked, you can stop now.
