I whole heartedly agree. I was 11yrs old when I started as well.

But the government will ALWAYS try to govern everything and anything they can. So I think that 18yrs of age would be righteous simply because of the fact that in the US you can purchase deadly substances, such as tobacco, at that age. Not to mention you can purchase any kind of OTC drug at the age of 18 as well.

Personally I don't understand why Cannabis is even considered an illegal substance anywhere. As long as there are restrictions in place I think it should be completely tolerated and decriminalized everywhere.

Alcohol and tobacco both have worse reputations for death, birth defects, pollution and the list goes on, than Cannabis EVER has...I just don't get it.

The only sense I've ever been able to make out of it is that because the substance is so readily available and easy to self-produce that they cannot make money off of it. Unlike tobacco and alcohol.

Why is the US in such a deficit? Well, think about the millions of dollars that are confiscated every WEEK from drug busts. Do you honestly think all that unlawful money is going to go back into the peoples pockets? Hell no. It goes into the agencies pockets. And do you think that the drugs confiscated from the scenes are being completely destroyed? Hell no. It goes back out on the street to regain its value and the circle begins again...

If they were to legalize Cannabis, I think that they would lose a lot of "tips" as I like to consider it...

I don't care what age they make it, as long as the penalties for using it underage are extremely lenient. Like a 30 dollar ticket, no matter how many times you get caught and it never goes on your record.

i really feel that 16 is a good age because that is when it helped me out the most by setting me straight rather than making me unmotivated and shit, but alot of kids i knew used it irresponsibly and fucked their grades over...thus i believe 18 is perfect age for all.

Look at countries where they have no age limit for alcohol, they don't have nearly as many problems as we have in the US alcohol abuse. I think it would be best to not have any age limit on marijuana, or alcohol and tobacco. Of course I know that will never happen in the US, not with the mentality voters have here, so I put 16 simply because I know most people start at around that age so it only makes sense to set a limit at that range.

I think any older and you would create the same problems of abuse that we have with tobacco and alcohol because parents don't want to talk about it, they just say "wait till you are old enough". It's sad how so many parents won't talk to their kids about these things and just point to the laws and tell them to wait, as if that is really going to stop them!

**Edit** Opps, I'm an idiot and didn't see the "Any age limit" choice...lol sorry

two big things to consider:
1. legaslation isn't going to want to pass eomthing that says an uborn fetus can smoke pot, so they will want someting similiar to the alcohol laws like 18-21
2. peoples lives(most peoples lives) start to take off around 18 or so, getting out of highschool and going to college and/or getting a job, and gaining freedom and what not, that should be the age when you can decide what you put in your body and what you don't
like i'm not sure how this would work out but as soon as you enroll in a college or get a job you can then get you cannabis licsense and smoke the herb or something like that i don't know but it's a complicated issue

I think it would be best when you are mature enough to be responsible for what you do and take the correct safety measures to smoke for me it was just this year. I now that when I am high I do not want to do stupid shit, but for others aka my friends I do not think they will ever be mature enough, but they have grown up some. So whether that is when 14 or 45 then whatever, but I surely do not think little two year olds should be running around smoking a blunt or getting shotguns lol

Responsibility is the key, I started when I was 13, and have seen no decrease in memory capability. I didn't have a good perception of consequences though, so I would have to say 15-16 years old, but there are always exceptions based on maturity and whatnot.

Even though I started at 14 I voted for 16 since I think the added maturity that comes in those 2 years is important. I think It will be easier to talk to my kids and have them understand that there's responsibility that goes with having the privelege to toke.

Kids should not be smoking pot. I tried smoking when I was younger, but never re
