At least what age should one be to consume cannabis?

Teens are idiots. But is that their fault? NO. It's socieities fault. For not educating them correctly, advising them correctly, or just simply genetics...

It's nobody's fault. It's just the cycle of life. We are born without knowledge. We acquire knowledge through living and experiencing and learning. We learn more everyday. The longer you have lived and experienced, the more you have learned.

Teens do not yet understand this cycle. They think they have already learned all there is to learn. But they will learn more, and by then they will no longer be teens.

It's that obvious is it??

16 to consume in my opinion. You should be mature enough to handle it.

little late but figured i would add my opinion...18. if you can kill yourself with cigarettes you should be able to smoke the good old cannabis that is so much better

I think if cannabis was legilezed then i think it shud b 16 same as normal smoking

I said 18. My reasoning behind that decision is because at the age of 18 I think most people have enough sense in them to make informed decisions about things. Younger people often do drugs or the like because it's 'cool' or because all their friends do it, etc.

where i live it's 21 to drink 18 to smoke cigs and 16 to drive. But as early as 17 you can join the army and risk your life. so to me it should be 17 to smoke cannabis and drink. if you can risk your life in the armed forces then by god give that man or woman a beer and joint!!

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.
