I voted yes..I believe that cannabis should be taken off the Schedule C list and legalized and regulated like alcohol. Even though I started toking at 12 years old,I don't believe that those under 18,should be smoking marijuana..they should be focusing on their education instead. I know that I wish that I had done less partying and more studying,job skills are paramount..git that out of the way first-then ya can party. However,if the younguns must party-then I'd rather see them toking marijuana,than drinking alcohol.
Have a good one ...

I completely agree.
However, even though I do agree that if weed were to be legalised it should be restricted to adults only (be that 16+, 18+ or 21+ depending on where you are located) I disagree with age limits altogether.
By this I mean I believe that if there were no age restrictions on alcohol (or any other 'drug', such is Cannabis, if legalised) then mature teenagers would have the ability to try certain things at their freedom. There would be no rush to go out and binge drunk the minute they become old enough. It would also minimise the amount of underage drinking, the same way the legalisation of Cannabis would minimise the amount of Cannabis smoking.
But yes, I agree that, at present, Cannabis should be legalised and should have some sort of age restriction. Though this goes against my beliefs I think this kind of regulation and control is the only way the public would ever accept a full scale legalisation.
Sorry for the rant. Cool idea for a forum.

I think it ought up to the parents to decide when their children are mature enough to handle something, not the government. Especially considering that people mature at different rates. My parents knew I was mature enough at 17.
It would definately have it's own tax, the same way alcohol does. And the tax would go up all the fucking time, the same way they do on alcohol. At least I guess they would.
But who knows? If they legalised it might be able to get permits to grow at home. I doubt that would happen, with people like GWB in power, because he'd have to do what his big corporate friends told him to do, and they'd want a big piece of the pie, if not the whole thing. So someone like GW, if weed was legal, wouldn't let you grow it and then he'd privatise the growing of it to big corporations. Probably pharmaceutical companies.

Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal?
It's a natural plant that grows in the dirt.
Do you know what's not natural?
80 year old dudes with hard-ons. That's not natural.
But we got pills for that.
We're dedicating all our medical resources to keeping the old guys erect,
but we're putting people in jail for something that grows in the dirt?
Why just decriminalize? Full legalization is what we should be striving for. There should be no laws against products of Mother Nature.

Yeah, but if it was legal you wouldn't need to buy it from the corporations, who would probably end up making it with all the radioactive fertilizers they make cigarettes with anyhow. I think lots of people would end up just growing it in their homes. I know I would.
