Cannibus can't hurt your health, so what is the point of an age restriction other than to make it all "you can't do this but I can!"?
18 years of age.
16, but any age should be fine, i started when i was 7 and it hasnt me no.....uh what was i saying? lol :p
16 is the age where u start figuring out who u really are, wanting to experiment with shit
well actually CheebaMan i started at 14...soo i think it hsould be 18... but make it like tobacco/ only illegal if u sell it to minors but minors can smoke if they can get it? summtin like that
For sure at least 18 years of age.
It's impossible man,
It is illegal for damn near everybody, so it is WRONG weather you start smokin at 11 or the magic number, 18.
In my opinion, however old you are, when you first make the decision to smoke, is the perfect age.
i will go with 18.
I voted 16 but in reality I think that it could be handled responsibly at any age - it's just that I think people need to be emotionally mature before they can be trusted with any drug. So the majority would need to be a little older, but if somebody wants to give their 12 year old a J then it's none of my business - it's their responsibility to protect their kid.
Shit son started smoking the summer after 6th grade.......i was going on 13 and december and my big bro introduced a joint to me................he let me smoke it myself i had cigs before so i knew how to smoke but the burn killed me lol im 17 now been through many many a blunt and bowl and still going strong i got hardcore into liquor last year but fuck that shit got me into way to much trouble id rather just smoke n stay happy
im the sticker ninja so i say there will be no age limit after phase 0 laws are inacted for the uncontrolled substance act.
why? because im cool. Plus it doesnt matter what age you are, cannabis can help you be healthy no matter what.
I started at 8 and still do to this day well right now but yeah screw age. If you can choose to do it you are old enough plus the younger the more likely not to like the feeling/coughing.
If it's legalized, the age will most likely be 21, like alcohol. At least it'll be a step in the right direction!
16. But it doesent even matter. The minute one steps into a high school they are able to find weed in abundance.
i think 19 is more than fair for a couple of reasons:
1.) i think that its just wrong for high school kids under 18 that smoke cannabis everyday is just wrong, because its the most important time in your life and its too risky to risk dropping out because smoking everyday will usually make you lazy.
2.) if you can fuckin die for fucking bush overseas and smoke a cancer stick, you should simply be able to smoke weed nough said :thumbsup:
3.) 19 seems to be a happy medium because your more than responsible and 99% of 19 yr. olds are out of high school!!!
Just my personal opinion based on past experiences :dance:
i think that any age should be able to smoke it. but i do think that 14 and older would be better cause i really wouldnt care if my kids smoked when they where 14 but any younger and i wouldnt be to suportive
I think it is interesting how the answers are quantized to 16 18 and 21.
Even though we all know these are arbitrary numbers we conform to what the governments have told us. They tell us that particular ages are Volta’s in our lives.
I think this answer shouldn’t be opinion. It should be based on fact!
does cannabis change brain development? most drugs do
if so what age does it stop? I would think this is a good age.
shit like that, i think, is more important than opinion
I also dont think that we can leave it up for people to decide their age. Young people do not have full reasoning abilities. so they literally are not properly equipped to make the decision
I started toking at 11, so I don't completly agree with this.Quote:

I have always been old for my age.
At 14 I own a sucessful clothing label, and am a freelance web and graphic desginer.
I think that age really shouldn't matter. Expecially because I'm more then positive that most of you would deem me capable of making the decision to smoke or not. I think that you should apply for a lisence of some sort and then take a test of sme sort to check maturaty levels.
well you really cant tell if somthing changed your brain development.
unless it is very sever.

Well, I guess 18 I could go for.....if you are old enough to die for your country, you are old enough to smoke pot.
HOWEVER, I would set the age at 21. I don't want to see stoned 18 year olds on the road. I also don't want to see stoned high school kids. I waited until I was in college to become a pothead.....yes, im a pothead, but at least im in college. I've seen what pot does to kids....it limits their potential. I can easily tell it limits my potential.
Well you can't really see that it limits others
it is a corrolation, and you are assuming causation
it could be that kids with limited futures, say because of poverty
choose to smoke weed.
so all the stoners seem limited to an observer
So you are saying that pot doesn't make you lazy? you are energized and not late anywhere? Next time you get high, talk to yourself, and note how idiotic you sound. I used to do alot of public speaking....I could never do it now because of the short term effects. I can be stone cold sober, but it takes a little more for me to focus and concentrate.
I saw alot of stoners in high school go NOWHERE. Don't kid yourself.
For most people, college starts when they are 18. It did for me at least. when you're 18 you're legally an adult in the US, so i think it should be legal for 18 year olds and above. anything lower, nah. but 18 is the age when you can kill your lungs with tobacco smoke, so why can't you smoke pot? pot is better for you, too.Quote:

Well, in Germany you can drink at 16, and smoke cigs at 16... so maybe 16 isn't such a bad age. But I doubt that would ever happen, if it got legalized. I'm saying that if the US ever does, the age would be 18 or 21. Maybe 19. I actually think 19 would be the best age. 21 is too fucking old. I'm 19, and it's taking way too long to become 21 :( , so I can buy liquor legally!Quote:

^^yea 21 is so old for drinking too. it's like your party times are half over. by that time people are almost ready to get real jobs and shit.
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.Quote:

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
Sativa makes u energetic n all.Quote:

16 years old, because by then, they can think for themselves and do research and get the facts...
I germany having the drinking age at 16 works, why? Well the culture is very different there.Quote:

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.
Currently
^^^ 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..
