I think legalizing pot will definitely do more to legitimize so yes I think it will be harder to prevent my children from doing it.
Personally I think the better way to stop the criminals from selling it is to make the punishments real punishments not the weak punishments they have now. If you are caught selling you are in jail for life no parole. Caught with any marijuana even as little as one joint, ten years in jail minimum.

Tell you what, let's make homelessness illegal, because we're practically glorifying it by not criminalizing it. If you're caught sleeping outside it's life in prison for you.
Caught downloading a copyrighted song? Life in prison.
Caught speeding? Life in prison.
Caught riding the train without a fare? Life in prison.
Caught wearing something tacky? Life in prison.
Caught looking at a rich person the wrong way? Life in prison.
Caught inconveniencing your life in any conceivable way, shape, or form, or so much as hurting your feelings? Life in prison.
That'll teach them filthy criminals!!!!!!!!!!
