Then? Are you going to lock them up while they are using those, and until they get rid of it from their systems in a way to not create any danger for other people.
There is a reason why people doing regular things like driving under influence have been punished severely. Even though their actions may not result in a death. Of course, no one would care if the person under influence would kill himself/herself. But, the main problem has always been their impact on other people.
And, of course, if you legalize it how will you prevent the kids accessing/using them. Especially if you cannot even prevent kids using alcohol right now. Though, I would not mind seeing how the scenario would play in real life, with its actual impact on the society (a free access to guns and marijuana to emotionally undeveloped kids).
By the way when you talk about legalizing access to those substances, how many people are we referring to? 100 thousand, 1 million, 10 million, etc...
