We are talking about medical marijuana, not general legalization, (even though it often comes up). Age restrictions do not make sense for medicine, which is what marijuana is. You should not be restricted to use a certain medicine simply because you are young unless there has been specific studies showing it to be harmful to a young person and those dangers outweigh the dangers of not using the medicine.

Marijuana should be for all ages of anyone that needs it, legally checked up through a doctor of course, however it would be nice if some day we could have legalization for recreational use, but as someone using primarily for medical reasons, that is my first concern not it's recreational use.

i was chating with this kid from cali he gets mmj for chronic pain and nausea he is only 16 so as far as age i dont think that matters i started smoking this wonderful herb when i was 13 i have not seen any noticeable negatiive effects but i have seen very positive effects

EDIT:I realized i jacked my own thread. so, to get back on topic.

I think anyone that thinks medical marijuana helps them should be able to get it. Many people have found that it helps them for so many things. And I don't think those people should have to wait for clinical studies to be done for their prescription to be legitamized. If someone is taking it for back pain, and they smoke it when their back doesn't hurt, that is fine. Now, the only problem I see with this is, and I'm sure it happens, people get their MMJ card just to get high, then brag about it to people. That is bad for the movement.
