Choose your weapon.
If the legal age were set to 30. I think the average 30 year old has the gray matter to know it's a bad idea to inject themselves with a syringe full of smack and if they don't, then I have no problem with social Darwinism in that regard.
By 30, you should know better.
30?? really? ok, but then after that (assuming our little fiction of a foolproof way to keep it away from them until then) you'd be ok with people doing whatever drugs they wanted?
I wasn't really trying to 'entrap' you or anything. But my experience has been that most people in favor of prohibition are worried about more than just the children. They feel that, essentially, government should treat all of us as children - deciding what's best for us and protecting from our own poor judgement. And I can't really square that with a free society.
No, with me, it's basically about kids making poor decisions that will affect them the rest of their life.
It's hard enough to keep it away from them now. I think our sense of social liberties can take a hit in order to try and perpetuate a society of people who don't have shot livers, track marks, meth mouth, and shot nasal sinuses.
