I put 18 because by then the body is pretty much done developing, you're a legal adult, and hopefully old enough to make decisions on your own and sort of smoke weed without getting into too much trouble. I started at 13 but that doesn't make me right... It just means I get bored too easily. Yeah... 18 sounds safe.

Your body isn't done developing (as a male), until you are around 25. Women are more in the 18-22 range.

i resent that, but it's not my fault that you dont know what i do and do not know, so i am not offended.

racism = prejudicy

racism =/= ageism


this is rather obvious, the root word being "race", refering to the unfair treatment to people of other races.

now... what is it that makes ageism any better than racism? the fact that we arent killing the childres cannot outweigh the act of imposing on someone's free will.
killing = imposing on the will of the victom, it's not death that matters, but the free will surrounding it.

you humans are too blinded by actions and illusions like death... you use this blindness to justify your ignorant ways... it's pitiful...

You should be old enough to know better, but young enough not to care!

19 or 21

19 is good, a year after your able to smoke ciggs etc. legally and your an adult and you have a years experience of being an adult to make good decisions.

21... wouldn't cause much controversy at that age, you already have to be that old to drink in the US ( should be 18 or 19 though to drink IMO... )

i say 21. thats when all the neurons in the brain have finished connecting to each other. plus, that way people who are still at least 18 can ask someone a few years older to hook them up. if the age was 17, then 13-14 year olds could just ask their 17 years old friends for help

I will justify my beliefs through the illusion of medical proof.

Here's why I think restricting a child is different from restricting a race:
Race has little to no biological importance.
Age has huge biological importance.

Quit blinding yourself with the illusion that everything is an illusion and therefore doesn't matter. We may well all be a dream, nothing, or everything, I frankly don't give a damn because I won't know it for a fact until I die. Here's the deal though, death does effect people. Illusion or not. This is because the majority of people do not view it as an illusion.

If I stop my 7 year old from playing with my loaded gun, but I don't stop my 17 year old, am I ageist?

I sure hope you say no, otherwise I'm sending my 7 year old over.

You moron you're too blinded by your pseudo-intellectualism and pessimistic ignorance... you use this blindness to distort others beliefs in order to make yourself seem intelligent... its pitiful.

"But adaisychain, you're a moron too."

Uugghh, we all are, don't remind me.

I like Denver's Alternative to Alcohol thing.

It makes sence, and you see underage people drink anywho

And you also see underage people smoking to

so why not 21? might pass faster and it does seem more likely to happen

If they find out that Marijuana could be a good treatment for A.D.D., it might be a good idea to legalize it for everyone.

I think some kid on the Montel Williams show was takin' cannabis for ADD, (eating it in sweets and other foodstuff) or maybe that was on somethin' else, in any case; I saw it somewhere.
