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.

You aren't very bright. If you are under 18 it doesn't much matter, you can't vote. And being ageist doesn't have the same repercussions as being racist. No one hangs kids because they are kids. I don't much care what your rebuttal is, you don't really know what you are talking about.Quote:

I started at 13 but that doesn't make me right... It just means I get bored too easily. Yeah... 18 sounds safe.

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... :(
nope, kettering in the UK. its a crappy little place in the middle of england, with pretty much nothing to do. although theres plenty of herb around here... :rasta:Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
you dont.Quote:

18 ...
Old enough to vote, old enough to die, old enough to smoke ...
u missed the age of 15.... i was gonna pick 15 give or take a year....
i must have started wen i was ........ about 11 or 12 but that was jus like 9-12 a month now im 14 i smoke 5+ joints a day but in scotland most ppl start smokin at about 10-14 but i think the ages are gonna get younger of ppl smokin so i think it should be 14 from personal veiw
im 16, ive been consuming marijuana since i was 13....and i think it should be legal for ANY age...actually not any age maybe like 16...yes 16..
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.
18 b/c then the human brain has grown enough so the person doesnt suffer immaturity...pot is known to stunt mental and matturity growth...and the mind genually stops growing at 18, 21 for sure....lol <3
of corse i first tried it at 15....and didnt officially start smoing untill i was 19....lol but did it every now and then inbetween.. :rasta:
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. :stoned:
i know that dairy and too much sugar triggers ADD symptoms...
go soy :D
Honestly I believe cigarettes and weed should switch legal roles. Cigarettes kill thousands, you have to smoke a pound in a sitting, in like 1 hr. to overdose, not possible. I don't know, weed is natural without all that crap the cigarette companies put in it. LEGALIZE IT. :thumbsup:
i said 16, yes its young. however if the goverment feels your capable of getting your drivers licence then you should be mature enough to make the pot smoking decision. although i would discourage pot smoking and driving.
any age is fine as long as they understand what they are doing
14 years old is way too young no matter how mature you think you are. It is more a matter of development rather than maturity. I believe that around 16+ is a better age for this.
Spaz :dance:
use by teens is much lower in areas where cannabis is decriminalized
this question should automaticly be any age,
my reson is this...
When you be come a adult you gotta get a jobs, and as most people on here know that Drug testing is growing everywhere these days....
my point it enjoy it while your in your youth age, hell i started at age 9 smokin my Dad's roaches when she left for work or somthing,
Now i am 16 and well never reget it from when i frist started.
Live life to it's fullist i say! and if that means getting stoned from young age then let it :dance: BE :dance:
