I saw alot of stoners in high school go NOWHERE. Don't kid yourself.

I agree i've seen many stoners go nowhere. All i'm saying is that you are assuming that they are going nowhere because of the weed. As in a causal relationship. This is the same argument the DEA uses and it is wrong.

these people probably would have go nowhere without the weed. no one can know.

I never said bud dosn't makes you lazy.

as well you might be surprised how many stoners (as in blaze everyday) go to top universities. I have found a way higher percent of people blaze in the dorms than anyone would have thought

Nice one! keep postin it m8

speaking legally-

why should any governmental agency be allowed to control what a person does to his or herself at any age. that sounds like a personal and family matter to me.

speaking morally-

how can anyone judge when another person is capable of making an informed decision, it will be different ages for different people. once again, that sounds like a personal and family matter to me.

16 years old, because by then, they can think for themselves and do research and get the facts...

I'm 19, and it's taking way too long to become 21 :( , so I can buy liquor legally!

I germany having the drinking age at 16 works, why? Well the culture is very different there.

If the US or Canada changed tomorrow the drinking are to 16 I donâ??t tink it would work out well.

In the US itâ??s like b4 your 21 drinking is a sin. In germany kids grow up to respect alcohol and many consume it on a regular basis with their family. So itâ??s not the forbidden fruit. This approach has created people who when they are 16 are able to accept the responsibilities of drinking and enjoy the benefits.

The current north American approach donâ??tâ?? create such individuals.

^^^ ye, but i respect all drugs i take and use their effects kinda wisely, probaly coz i dont have a lot and its too fukin expensive lol

were it to be legalized in the US, I would expect nothing more than same age as alcohol is in the states, 21. (of course it should differ from country to country depending on legal ages, and be set at the age for hard liqueur in the countries that have a beer age then a liqueur age) Anything younger is asking too much. Putting it as same age as cigarettes doesn't make sense, unless you are a kid and you want to be able to smoke, cigarettes aren't really a mood altering substance, so the guideline should be set the age limit same as the only other intoxicating substance that is legal.

Saying there shouldn't be a age limit is just being totally unrealistic and I am pretty sure people that answer that are either not responsible tokers, are teenagers or will never do their part in the fight for legalization besides sit around smoking spliffs with their friends saying man, it would be so cool if pot were legal. Action speaks louder than words, do your part, and be realistic about things!

18. Even tho I was 20 when I first tried it. I imagine someone here has already mentioned, the old saying...if you can fight and die in a war at 18, you should be able to ____. (fill in the blank with almost anything)

prolly 17 or 18 even though im 14.. but im not gonna say 14 just because of that..
