Self-medicating isn't a perfectly safe thing to do. No-one is saying it is. But the people who are making the choice to self-medicate are often people whose judgement is already impaired because of mental illness, trauma, etc. In the case in question, the person who made the choice to start was 13. We don't assume that 13-year-olds are fully qualified to make big decisions like that, because their minds haven't developed to the point where they can foresee all the consequences of their actions. This is why we have statutory rape laws, this is why we don't let teenagers drink, drive or vote, this is why have young offender laws which seal juvenile records so that a person won't be haunted their entire lives by a stupid decision made as a child.
