    They aren’t, but adults are allowed to decide about that addiction

      I think it’s also the case that it has a bigger impact on developing brains, who might be more easily addicted.

      I don’t have any evidence for this, I’m just guessing here.

        In New York? Interesting.

        But if you’re being facetious, that’s why I specified “that” addiction.

        I mean, if they banned everything that was harmful and addictive, then nicotine and alcohol would be banned too. But clearly they don’t. Yet those are banned for children.

        I think that should also be allowed, but only under medical supervision. Ideally, there should be a legal path to pretty much anything you want to do, with controls in place to protect the public from your choices.
