I suggest a 21 and older lounge

No, I'm not talking about a pervert forum. I'm talking about a forum where adults can discuss topics of general interest without being swamped by the juvenile blurbs of highschool kids who should be doing homework instead of smoking pot.

I would even go so far as to suggest a zero-tolerance policy on minors anywhere on this site. Allowing kids on here only illustrates the opposition's point that pot smokers are irresponsible. Indeed, we truly are irresponsible if we encourage 15 year old kids to get high.

Keep minors and marijuana separated, for their sake, for our sake, and for the sake of the cause of decriminalization. The voters will not respect us until we can show that we are respectable.

theres no way of proving someones age

Ban the 15 year olds? I think it is better for them to have a place to find out the truth about whats going on. They wouldn't be here if they weren't already smoking or planning to smoke. May as well provide them with information so they don't get themselves killed dealing with shady people. I will say you sould be 18 before you begin smoking, but come on. Kids are going to be using it so why shouldn't we be allowed to inform them?

Sure let me Fax a copy of my ID to the MODS so they know its me :thumbsup:
But then again, maybe i stole the ID har har :pimp:

Stoners who think that it's bad for minors to smoke are like adult christians who tell children premarital sex is a sin then go sleeping around themselves. If somethings "bad" it's generally bad for all ages. If it's "good", then it's generally "good" for all ages.

What makes it OK for you to smoke cannabis but not for a 17 year old?

Look I drink too and I don't really think 17 year olds should drink. Some things are better left until you reach a certain age of maturity. I drank and smoke before I was 18, but it doesn't change my feelings on kids should not be doing these things. Why should there be an exception here. It is illigal for a 17 year old to smoke and drink. So why shouldn't we hold that to cannabis. Assuming cannabis were legal, do you think there would be no age restriction?

You forget that when you turn 18, someone hands you a book with all of the answers of life in it. You'll always make the right decision, everytime. Nobody over 18 or 21 has ever shown that they, too, are not yet mature enough to recreationally partake in mind-altering substances.

In reality though, I think there are some members that are too young to be here. I judge this by the maturity in their posts, though, not their actual age. There are plenty of people over the legal age that are still too young, and I'm sure you can all agree.

I generally agree but must point out that i have not found that we get harrased by kids every time we post, but, yes i think we should have an "adult forum" but people will just lie about there age then, won't they?

:stoned: :D :) :thumbsup:

No, but an effort can at least be made. I've already seen many posts where kids have freely admitted their ages, and I've seen many personal pics posted which clearly display that the poster is a minor.

In such situations, they should be tossed from the site immediately.

And whenever you read something along the lines of "my parents want to drug test me" or "should I smoke at home" then I think you can safely assume they are kids.

First off, there is really no way to do an age verification. Next, while dealing with members, I've found that there are some of the kids in here that act more mature than the adults.

There is an "ignore" feature so if there is anybody that is getting on your nerves, feel free!

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
