Look I drink too and I don't really think 17 year olds should drink. Some things are better left until you reach a certain age of maturity. I drank and smoke before I was 18, but it doesn't change my feelings on kids should not be doing these things. Why should there be an exception here. It is illigal for a 17 year old to smoke and drink. So why shouldn't we hold that to cannabis. Assuming cannabis were legal, do you think there would be no age restriction?
