I'm yet to hear the NORML crowd suggest that giving MJ to a toddler is an acceptable idea.
I'm sure the next time there is a story about a toddler shooting himself, you'd like to read that "The NRA crowd wants loaded handguns in every baby's crib". |
Advocates of legalization largely agree that keeping reefer out of the hands of kids is a good idea. The educated understand that numbing brain cells is harmful to development. I've never heard anyone say they'd let their toddler smoke pot.
Some folks believe that a 16 year old is going to be curious about pot and/or alcohol, and argue that letting them try a little bit at home, while supervised, to remove the mystique, while making sure the kid is safe... is better than letting them get into that stuff on the streets, from unknown sources, with unknown motives, and potentially horrible results.
Thats a far cry from giving adult substances to toddlers.
As ridiculous as leaving a loaded gun in a crib, indeed.
