As soon as a indivisual can gain the understanding of the benefits of vitamins. If that is at age 2 then toke up baby. I would recommend a vaporizer for those under the age of seven as that is when the lungs are fully developed. Stay young forever.

I did it for the first time when i was 14. Im 16 now but it just looks soo bad when you see or hear kids who are like 10-11 years old smokeing pot its like come on ehat the hell. I think 18 is good cause then you can do it in moderation and you dont fuck up ur highschool classes and not even have a chance at going to college or university.
But thats just my toughts.

whatever time one is mature enough to handle the herb... could be 13 years old, could be 31 years old.
It's all about keeping herb in moderation, and not letting it take over your life.

Well if they do decide to ever legalize it, I would say 18 years old. Keep alcohol at 21. lol. I heard when Canada legalizes it, it will be at 16. I am pretty sure that is what the Canadian Senate report said.

Any age is fine to me.
Smoking marijuana is WAY less dangerous than being a juvenile vandal or joining a gang and kids smaller than 12 does this. So I believe just like those choices are made by these individuals, smoking or eating marijuana is also made by them.

Besttonicischoric
Most drugs of abuse decrease the generation of new neurons in the brain, but the effects of marijuana on this process, called neurogenesis, had not been clear.
In a paper appearing online on October 13 in advance of print publication of the November issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Xia Zhang and colleagues from University of Saskatchewan show that a potent and synthetic cannabinoid promotes neurogenesis. This drug also exerts anti-anxiety and antidepressant-like effects.
The researchers suggest that there is a positive correlation between increased adult neurogenesis and modified behavior following chronic cannabinoid treatment.
These data expand the existing knowledge about the positive roles cannabinoids and their receptors play in brain processing and medicine.
Moreover, cannabinoids are perhaps the only illicit drug that can enhance adult neurogenesis and subsequently modify behavior.
TITLE: Cannabinoid promotes embryonic and adult hippocampus neurogenesis and produces anxiolytic- and antidepression-like effects
It only makes you smarter or makes most learn knowledge easier. I think of smart as being nice and dumb as being mean. I work much better when smoking and am much more motivated.

im 19 and been smoking for like 6-7 years and i origanally voted 17 but 18 would sound better to the ''unsmoking community" if cannabis was on the verge of being legalized.

I can't imagine anyone refuting that point, for the lack of evidence points just as much in that direction as it does the other way.

Age Restrictions....??
To be a right it must be in the "Best Interest of Society" and that right will be enforced by the government. Just like laws that require a person be a certain age before they can vote, purchase a handgun, enter a strip club, be served alcohol and operate a motor vehicle.
The reason is simple, if you have a right .. in exercising your right you cannot step on another's rights. Imagine if there were no restrictions....
a seven - year = old could drive a car, buy a handgun, and vote...later he could walk into a strip club and get served. If you happen to be in that strip club at that time, you may be in danger and there is nothing no one can do because there is no law prohibiting this. Yes, we need to accept restrictions if we want it to be a right within society and keep society safe from harm.
Remember: " if we expect to make a change within the system, it is from within the system that a long lasting change will occur."
If we want to legalize weed we have to legalize it to the degree the government places logical restrictions on its use.
Also note, they do not have to prove it is harmful, it is the exact opposite in fact. FDA don't just release drugs until they are proven harmful to society, it is the opposite they don't release a drug until it is proven to be safe. If you want to legalize weed you need a very large group to be part of the long term study, that was suggested. But as in all scientific studies, you must be willing to accept both possible outcomes, and live with that result too.

i agree 1000%
I also don't like seeing these 10-11 year olds tokin up because they are so young and most likely doing it for all the wrong reason, and most of the time they honestly can't handle themselves while high

Ya really if pot was legal and you could do it at ages 12 or 13 less kids would be huffing hair sparys and choking each other. Hell to think of it NO ONE would be doing that stupid shit if it was legal.

I'm 16, but I put 18 because most kids aren't mature enough at my age. I hate teenagers. Most people still aren't mature enough at 18 though. I hate people.

After being a heavy smoker for 6 years and being a non smoker now and heavy cigarette smoker before, now above age 21 i'd say 18-21 to be a sensible age for smoking it, if ever.
Life had lost joy at 18 so I think consider 18 to be a responsible age.

I rekon 14, because theres alot of kids who want to smoke it, and at 14, they should be able to make an adult choise. It's part of growing up.

Yeah 14-15
13 is too young and with cigs people dont care that the age is 16 and start smoking around 14 (well most kids) and with drinking no one cares the age is 18 everyones starts at like 15 mainly so yeah 14-15 should be the age
