I agree Brucie - it should be for 18 and over and of course all "under the influence" laws for alcohol should be extended to pot as well.

One of the worst anti-pot commercials that runs on U.S. TV is one where the young man is visiting his brother's roadside marker. The voice-over says the the kids got killed by his brother while driving while stoned. That has nothing to do with pot.

That it is a gateway drug is stupid in so many way - especially this one: You say that people who do hard drugs start off with pot. Number one, that's not always true. Number two - it's certainly not true in countries where pot is not common.


Simple fact. Those that want to keep pot illegal are using only their emotions and probably like to control other people's lives. Stay the hell away from me and let me do what I want to my body in my own home. The fact that it is illegal forces some people to steal to afford their addictions. Make it legal and the price comes down, and a lot less people will steal to get it.

By the way - if you think I'm a pot-head, I am not. I haven't used pot sicne the early 1980s.
