Kids should not be smoking pot. I tried smoking when I was younger, but never really got into it. I became a smoker in college, where i also became a heavy drinker. But i was old enough and responsible enough to know when I could get high and when it was probably not the best idea. I didn't go to work high, and i only went to one class high regularly. (it was my film class). 18 is a good age. You can go to war you should be able to smoke some weed.
