Most of the people under 18 are simply too stupid to make a good decision about whether they should be smoking or not. Many of the underage posters here prove that. I miss overgrow and their 18+ only policy...

Now let me just say that I personally started using cannabis on a regular basis when I was 14 (first started when I was 11) so it may sound a bit hippocritical of me to make this statement.

I don't think that any children should be allowed to use cannabis. The age of consent for cannabis use should be at least 18 if not 16. Think about it, most people wouldn't want their kids getting drunk when they aren't old enough to even drive a car yet, so why should cannabis be any different? I'd like to hear what other people have to say on this subject, so please post your thoughts on this.

It's different because alcohol kills hundreds of thousands of people a year. Alcohol kills brain cells. Cannabis does NOT. It's really that simple :)

It's nice you think it should be 18, no really it is. I'm not going to say I don't really care what you think, because I do!

Anywho, Cannabis > Alcohol > You :thumbsup:

The thing is no matter what any of us say it wont change the fact that cannabis affects our brains wether short term or not and I think kids should give their brains a chance to develop properly before they start messing with it.

Also, no matter what any of us say kids are going to want to get drunk and high. And the more forbidden the fruit looks, the more tempting it will be. Look at the rate of teenage alcohol abuse in the US, where the drinking age is 21 and strictly enforced, and compare it with France where it's not illegal or uncommon for parents to give their teenagers a little wine at dinner.

I'm 51 still tokin but took time off for law school and kids. So tokin is fine at any age as long as you can still make ur life the most it can be and NOT become a slug

I would say it has little to do with age, but more with your maturity level. I have been smoking for 3 years and I am a responsible kid, get good grades in school and shit, so I can smoke pot
