So would you extend this argument to all drugs. No age minimum to purchase any drug whatsoever?

What of parents who do not wish for their minors to do them? How do they control a convenient stor from selling crack to their 16 year old if it is all legal at any age?

By gum, you've got it!

What if a parent doesn't mind Junior having a spliff now and then? Should it still be illegal?

Your argument undermines itself. You're trying to argue from parental authority to a policy that takes authority away from parents and gives it to the government.

Parents don't want their minor children doing a lot of things. If it is a legal product that they are legally allowed to purchase it is the PARENTS responsibility to see that their children do not do it/them, not the store clerks.
