The question is simple, really: "Do you really want your kid to have free access to Tranq?".
Answer that, in all honesty, from the bottom of your earth.
My enemies aren't the dealers or the consumers. My enemies are those saying every single drug should be freely accessible to my kid.
- DoreenMichele 2y agoDrugs that are legal for adults are typically illegal for children. Alcohol and tobacco are both legal for adults in the US and illegal for children. Saying adults who are generally functional should generally have agency over their own body is not saying "Anything goes!" and is not saying "Let's actively seek to turn kids into addicts!" A lot of arguments against decriminalization are posited as extremist, worst case scenarios. I said from the start that I don't know what the history is for the jurisdiction in question and ended with my firm belief that decriminalization should not be code for giving assholes a pass on any and every shitty thing they want to excuse or justify. Seems like something went wrong in BC and they are trying to course correct. I'm fine with that.
