Well, in answer to the name of the thread, no weed is legal, anywhere, by international treaty. It is tolerated to differing degrees in certain places like Holland, Vancouver and Nimbin (a little town in Australia), but technically what is going on is that it is still illegal but the law is only applied under certain circumstances and ignored in others.

The laws differ from place to place. Here in New York state, if you're caught with any amount of weed at all you could very well find yourself in legal trouble, but small possession charges won't get you arrested. Of course there is no age limit for weed. The law may apply differently for minors and adults, but the law's the law and it isn't tolerated at any age. The only place I know of that has a legally set age limit for weed is the Netherlands, where you have to be 18 to buy it.

But none of this should matter if you're careful and don't get caught. It's really not that hard to do, just don't get high anywhere an authority figure might be able to find you, and always prepare for a worst-case scenario wherever you smoke.
