Your kids will do many things that you don't want.

And in any case, not wanting your kids to do X is a horrible reason for delegitimizing the use of X by everyone.

I mean, I wouldn't want my kids to BASE jump in wingsuits. But I wouldn't want to see BASE jumping or wingsuits become illegal.

Perhaps a more relevant question would be:

If you found out your kid tried mushrooms, do you think they'd deserve criminal charges and jail time?

Yes, that's an excellent question.
