I blame the parents for allowing their kids enough freedom to go astray.
There really is so much potential to enjoy childhood without any need to do drugs.

What's your reasoning on this? I mean, under your name it says you're addicted to marijuana and you're visiting a marijuana forum, so it's clear you smoke weed.
So what's wrong with your children smoking weed as teenagers or adults? If you really think it's that bad and don't want them smoking weed as kids/teenagers (and hope that they don't want anything to do with them as adults), then how about you start leading by example and quit the smoking? As a teenager myself, the most tempting thing is to do something you might want to do but forbidden to do by your parents (ala weed in your case) AND seeing/knowing your parent doing that same thing. It's a double standard that a lot of kids see fit to disobey. So set the example and quit the herb if you're that worried.
And for the second bolded sentence, I will openly and readily admit that marijuana helped my social life in so many ways. It was something I could relate with to other people when I moved and didn't know anybody in Oregon. My life is great because of the herb and I've never even considered thinking about what my life would be like without it. My childhood was fun and it's understanding to not want your kids to smoke then, but as a teenager, it made my life extremely more enjoyable.
