Why do people say "Wait until you're 18"

[harris7]

Well...

consider how much you develop from 16-19.. then from 19-25.. which would make more of an impact on your life if something was unknowingly misunderstood, possibly even abused. Same reason there are "legal" ages for alcohol and tobacco as well.

Kids abuse things...

Bob.

Generally things that are only for us 19+ people. Arenâ??t for our own good, Iâ??ts because old people donâ??t like the thought of it.
Sex, porn, booze, tobacco.

Alcohol isnâ??t under nearly such strict regulation in Europe and guess what, there is much less abuse.

Tobacco is 19+ because no rational person would smoke. Honestly.
It is thought that kids arenâ??t rational, I agree, and will smoke to â??fit inâ?� and so on.
Virtually no one starts smoking after 19.

That doesn't make any sense, your brain isn't fully developed until you're 25. I'm 16, I toke, and I still get A's in school. Rating: 5
