Your kids are your responsibility until they are no longer kids. What are YOU doing to prevent them from using drugs. In fact the war on drugs made drugs more available to kids in the first place. Without the illegal trade there is no pusher on the playground seeking his next customer to support his habit.
I am tired of parents wanting anyone but themselves to take care of their kids.
On the subject of "dying" pot has never been shown to have killed anyone while tobacco kills half a million a year and alcohol about 140,000 a year not counting drunk driving. Drug crimes kill but the key work there is "crime" not the drugs. Over doses most often occur because of bad drugs, HIV etc. from dirty needles. Many more from prescription drugs kids steal from their own parents.
While drugs are illegal, treatment is problematic. Legal drugs reduce the number of drug users and provide for open and non-stigmatizing rehab alternatives that don't cause employment and social problems later.
