Why hello there!
H_TeXMeX_H:
Why not ? I drank beer when I was 9 ... got kinda drunk too, passed out watching Garfield ... had strange dreams ... (sadly I'm not kidding)
Refalm:
--- Quote from: worker201 ---I don't think your theory tells the whole story. Some people want to get fucked up, and that's the plain simple truth. Access isn't even an issue. Drink and drug restrictions are nothing more than an annoyance to the would-be user - a hurdle between the craver and his satisfaction.
However, we don't want 9-year-olds buying beer, do we?

I actually know some 9-year-olds drinking tafel beer (don't know the English word for it, but it's low on alcohol).
If it's under parental supervision, why not?
Calum:
i think that if there is a substance abuse problem, whatever the substance, then having the possession of such a substance to be against the law will always drive the problem underground and make it harder to deal with.
why in this case are a lot of "recreational" drugs against the law? if they were not illegal, the bottom would fall out of the black market and a lot fewer people would be taking them (i think).

preaching to the masses here, the current generation is pretty informed of the facts. Its the previous generation that think cannabis is the work of the devil.
However, I am not entirely convinced that cannabis does not cause mental health problems in teenagers. I know a couple of people that have lost friends/family to the drug (not as in death but paranoid schizophrenia). You can tell if someone has smoked pot a lot in the past just intuitively, by how they talk and handle themselves, that is a reflection of the permanent effect it has on the brain when overused.
Senji:
I think Pathos may be onto something
you know teenagers are like still developing so when the brain
is not yet solid it might be vounerable(misspelled) to drug attacks
as in they get more high and it is more dangerous ;]
so its still "wait to grow up if you wanna stay normal" (as in not mad)
