This kind of law cannot be tolerated. Not even if the goal is admirable.

'Legal for you, forever' but 'forever illegal for your children' is blatantly not the same thing as 'you must be eighteen.' It's inequality. It's generational discrimination. It is a separate set of laws, based on the circumstances of your birth, without any fig-leaf for safety, ability, or intellect.

It’s generational discrimination

You mean, like between the people who lived and died without being able to smoke cannabis legally and those who now can?

Every single law ever approved has created a barrier between those who lived before the law was approved and those who lived after. Public health care, public pensions, everything.
