you misread my question. you said that it's stupid to decriminalize marijuana because there will still need to be an illegal act taking place to possess it. and what i was saying is that there already is a law like that, in where it is illegal for a minor to purchase cigarettes, but perfectly legal for a minor to have them after the fact
