18 + over is great

So, regardless of age, does anyone here have trouble finding weed? Probably not. Prohibition places the distribution in the hands of criminals. But then everyone here can probably get beer, perhaps they should just let people live their lives, as they choose. a crazy idea in the land of the free, huh?

We are all diffrent. We all grow and develope at diffrent rates. So by putting an age limit on it, we are only limiting our selves. I say that most people 17 and older are experienced with life, enough to the point where they have to decide what they want in life. I mean at this point, we get bombarded with questions anymore. Do we want to join the military, go to collage, go to trade school, go straight to work, or just be a lazy ass bum. We are surrounded by choices, and recognized as adults in many societies. Yet as adults we are forbidden to smoke. At 17 we can join the military with perental signing, at 18 we can buy tobacco, and vote, and at 21 we can drink. Isn't it time we esstablish one age where we are concidered adults, instead of Dickjockying around? i say that 18 should be the age we are concidered adults, thats whats accepted in society today, and thats what most people really start to mature. Do i think it will end crime completely? No, there is no way we can end crime, but if we asstablish a tax on it, like tobacco, limit the amount we have in our posession, we can use the money from the tax alone to pay for the war on drugs. This will pay for the "war on drugs" by full, and will be able to get better programs asstablished in our elementry and highschools, to better educate the youth of the next generations. Telling them the dangers of the harder drugs, and get rid of all of the bullshit. Kids dont like bullshit, they want the truth right up front. And the programs that are going on today, are just a waste of money. By telling kids all these myths and lies about Marijuana, when they find out the truth later on in life, they are going to be less likely to beleive what you say. So i say 1. we get rid of the bullshit in school; 2. get a better program going to educate kids about the dangers of drugs, the actual facts about them, and teach them that moderation is ok, as long as if you can control yourself; 3. learn by experience, live and let live. Meaning, most 'stoners' today, arent lazy, broke, worthless people. They make every level of society. Not just one group; 4. Esstablish one age where we are concidered adults; 5. Legalize the growing of hemp, the one without THC, for growing as a cash crop, alternate fuel sorce, alternate for cotton; 6. legalize marijuana for recreational use.

I feel that after saying this, that alot of people will agree with me, Legalize it, and get a better education behind the youth of the next generations. We all know that the marijuana prohibation isnt working, so instead of having our kids, be doing it, getting caught, sent away from us, and have us get arrested for smoking, and sent to jail. why not tell the kids, what exactly it does to your mind, body, and soul. whether harmfull or for the better, give it to them straight up. not just about marijuana, but about all drugs, leave no myths out there for those kids to pick up on, because once a kid starts picking up on those things being myths, then he/she starts thinking that everything youve told them about that is a lie. And i also feel the only way we can get anything done is to go and do something about it, revolt, riot, boycot, whatever, just protest till we get the nation behind us, so lets spread the word, and this upcoming April 20th, lets have a nationwide smokeup! because sitting on here does nothing, but have us complain to each other, noone but ourselves is reading this stuff, lets get the word out there. and i will start an additional post about the smoke up.

I don't think there should be an age limit per say. Depression is most common among teenagers. There should be a waiver, after the parents talk with the kid, and feel he is responsible and mature enough, they go to city hall, and sign a waiver, and have it notirized by somebody there. Then, the kid gets a license to buy/grow and consume it.

any age is fine 8-) smoke a reefer and be happy fuckers

hiya Ron,
like nic i voted for none of the above, also like bluephoenix and ermitonto, it is 100% up to the parents or guardians.
no government on earth has the right to tell an adult what to eat, drink, smoke, wear or say.

i have had the honor to attend native american church services where peyote is ingested. there were many people there all sizes and races, some had children, the children were given peyote that was first chewed by the parents.
it was one of the most spiritual events of my long life, in the morning everyone was related and knew it.

And these are exactly some of the DUMB ASS actions that keeps weed illegal!

I've got one or two things to say about change, Like the change we must change to the change we hold dear. I really like change have I made myself clear?

If they allow it, they should legalize it for everyone, but raise the driving age to 18, to keep younger people from getting too stoned, then driving dumb.

none of those ages i started smokin weed at the age of 10 and been smokin since

I was 8 or 9 when I first tried it, I think its totally individual, I really was never a kid, even as a youngster I thought and acted as an adult, I know thats strange, but I was never one to do stupid and foolish things, or get myself into situations I couldent handle, so for me it was fine, like I say I think its individual.

you should be able to decide at any age when u wanna smoke

having on limits on sumthing as good as cannibas is just plain wack

later

I voted for 21 becouse thats the age you gota drink but I think the drinking age should be 18 and the smokin age 18 but that would never happen

I notice the majority of the votes are either for 16, 18, or 21. I wonder; is this because people have made their own decision and just drew the same conclusions, or is it because these are the magical ages that our governments use whenever they have to restrict something?

It's because most of us have already reached that age.

I, originally, put 18, but I've changed my answer to "No limits".

The worse that can happen is a child could become overly-passive.

I agree with Torog, thats exactly what Ive always said.

I've put 18 for recreational same as alcohol which seems fair I sppose but for medical then there shouldn't be an age limit its a medicine too I reckon.

OK, actually my sis and I have been talking about this for years, it seems. We decided 21 and it should have the same type of laws alcohol has. Of course 18 seems reasonable because it's identical to smoking a cig., but a cig doesn't cause the same effects as a joint does. It causes a reaction that impaires your jugement. Must be 21 to purchase, smoke, got to coffee shops, and of course no driving while stoned. Of course many of the laws would be broken, just like drinking, but I think that this is the only type of the thing the Government would go for, if they ever do it at all... too bad we didn't have the same laws as the Netherlands. Legal pot and drinking at 16.

as soon as they hit puberty

18. simply because its the age at wich you are legally an adult and can vote drink get married etc.

its not a case of being greedy or age discrimination. you have to give something for kids to do illicitly or there wouldn't be any rules to break!

i'd like to point out that anyone who did not choose "any age is fine" is prejudice against age groups, for whatever reason i dont give two craps.


be it "medical science" that "proves" children are underdeveloped.

be it whatever it may, it's still prejudice.

no matter how you look at it, it's still "you cant do that because of this"


"you cant be free because your black" makes as much sence as "you cant smoke (or drink) because you're under *age here*"

it's prejudice.
