At least what age should one be to consume cannabis?

[cannabis=freedom]

Have I posted in this thread before?

I think age isn't an issue. I think level of maturity is the key.

I absolutely agree. I'm sixteen, and have been smoking cannabis for approximately six months. I started because while previously I had always believed the government lies and agreed with their stance that all drugs were bad, I then did some research and discovered that there was a lot more grey than I had always been taught. Some people are mature enough to handle ganja at fourteen, and some people are twenty-two and not ready for it. Age is entirely subjective and reliant on the individual, not a generalization. Many would consider sixteen too young to be smoking it, but I do so, very frequently, and I get As and Bs in school and in my spare time write, philosophize, and study politics and what I can do about it. So much for stereotypes.

You know, I've been hearing quite a bit of discrimination against teenagers here, and frankly, I don't like it. Not that anybody would take my views seriously, since I'm simply a piece-of-shit 16-year-old who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, right? Hell, a lot of teens are dumb, I'll grant you that, but I'm far more intelligent than my grandfather, who is extremely narrow-minded and doesn't have a clue about anything. The same applies in many cases. There is currently a movement underway for an increase in the individual freedom of adults, but no one seems to care two bits about the rights of youth. To say that teens are immature is true in many cases, but it is a generalization with many exceptions, and laws based on generalizations are bullshit. Why don't we make it illegal for Irishmen to drink, because everyone knows they're going to become an alcoholic, right? See what I'm saying? I'll turn 21 on September 26, 2011, and according to many of your views I will remain far too immature to smoke pot up until September 25, 2011, 11:59 p.m. Then at the stroke of midnight I will magically become the proper age to smoke.

Im not going to give a long winded reply but I think 16 is a good number. Thats the age I was when I tried it. Itll give that person or persons time to think if they want to continue smoking pot or just not to. Me I love it and I dont see anything wrong with it.

blah, blah blah...peole need to wake up and quit relying on the GVT for anything. Quit blaming the govt for everything.
DOnt blame society for the ills of the world then worship MTV...

Ill be honest, the more liberal society has become, the more fucked up its become...

blame MTV

The government especially in the united states is highly responsible for the problems of your country. So are the corporations

I would say itâ??s mainly the lack of control over corporations has done this to your society.
I hope we all accept their control over government, lets not debate that.

Most citizens are drones. They have their goals, ie, to have a happy family. And people use these desires to manipulate the population for their own benefit. You can hardly blame it on the individual citizens when you look at the history.

First they cut back education, 20 years later you have a population who cant defend their minds; makes it easy to trick them into going to war or buy your products


One of the reasons the US is so militarized.

â??when something [war] becomes this profitable, your going to see a lot more of itâ?�

nope there shouldent be any age at all... if your heart desiers to smoke weed like mine did at 11 then go ahead and smoke weed and no one has the right to tell you otherwise because it your own life born with free will simple as that. I mean if your heart desieres killing ppl or doing crack etc.. then yes I reccomend not doing what your heart desieres at all.... but if the gov wants to put control over buying it then I would say 18 just to go along with everything else nowadays being 18 but i believe there shouldent be any age limit at all. but there should be no penalty if any one under that age smokes it..

I whole heartedly agree. I was 11yrs old when I started as well.

But the government will ALWAYS try to govern everything and anything they can. So I think that 18yrs of age would be righteous simply because of the fact that in the US you can purchase deadly substances, such as tobacco, at that age. Not to mention you can purchase any kind of OTC drug at the age of 18 as well.

Personally I don't understand why Cannabis is even considered an illegal substance anywhere. As long as there are restrictions in place I think it should be completely tolerated and decriminalized everywhere.

Alcohol and tobacco both have worse reputations for death, birth defects, pollution and the list goes on, than Cannabis EVER has...I just don't get it.

The only sense I've ever been able to make out of it is that because the substance is so readily available and easy to self-produce that they cannot make money off of it. Unlike tobacco and alcohol.

Why is the US in such a deficit? Well, think about the millions of dollars that are confiscated every WEEK from drug busts. Do you honestly think all that unlawful money is going to go back into the peoples pockets? Hell no. It goes into the agencies pockets. And do you think that the drugs confiscated from the scenes are being completely destroyed? Hell no. It goes back out on the street to regain its value and the circle begins again...

If they were to legalize Cannabis, I think that they would lose a lot of "tips" as I like to consider it...

does very much depend on the person.. but... im thinkin 16 really.. :jointsmile:
