I sure hope

If not, how about practicing a little enlightened self-interest.
There's more to drug use than whether or not parents should enable children
to engage in the practice. And forget the stuff about legal, illegal, felony
or misdemeanor.  What about their minds and their bodies.
 
There's not one positive aspect of your children's life that is enhanced by
allowing them to be drug users anywhere, least of all in your own home.  I
take that back, it's possible that you may consider successfully avoiding
the consequences of an act defined as illegal is being a positive aspect of
one's life.
 
Because you seem to have redefined the law and replaced it with unique code
of conduct, do your children consider themselves special or privileged.  Or
do you remind them that they are common everyday drug users with a parent
who enables them to practice a behavior that is generally considered to be
at best unenlightened and at worst either anti-social or fatal, take your pick.
 
I'm sure the day one of your children is picked up on a DUI (and I can
almost guarantee they will) I'm sure they'll understand the wisdom of your
parental guidance.
 
Keep us posted on how your teenagers turn out.
