Have a good one ...
I completely agree.

However, even though I do agree that if weed were to be legalised it should be restricted to adults only (be that 16+, 18+ or 21+ depending on where you are located) I disagree with age limits altogether.

By this I mean I believe that if there were no age restrictions on alcohol (or any other 'drug', such is Cannabis, if legalised) then mature teenagers would have the ability to try certain things at their freedom. There would be no rush to go out and binge drunk the minute they become old enough. It would also minimise the amount of underage drinking, the same way the legalisation of Cannabis would minimise the amount of Cannabis smoking.

But yes, I agree that, at present, Cannabis should be legalised and should have some sort of age restriction. Though this goes against my beliefs I think this kind of regulation and control is the only way the public would ever accept a full scale legalisation.

Sorry for the rant. Cool idea for a forum.
