Drugs won't be legalized for children anymore than alcohol or tobacco are.

Read the platform:

We call for repeal of all "children's codes" or statutes which abridge due process protections for young people.

Stop making stuff up. It weakens, not strengthens any arguments you may have.

I'm not a Libertarian and I do have good reading comprehension. Here's the paragraph from which you plucked the one sentence.

We call for an end to the practice in many states of jailing children not accused of any crime. We call for repeal of all "children's codes" or statutes which abridge due process protections for young people.

Because you omitted the first sentence above are we to assume that you are in favor of jailing children not accused of a crime?

About the second sentence: That implies that under the current government young people are having their due process protections abridged. That sure sounds like young people are not being given Fourth Amendment protection. And that the Libertarian platform seeks to return full protection to the young people.

You are either incompetent, ignorant, or intended to deceive the reader. The choice is yours.
