    The CMA said in the submission that ideally the legal limit would be 25, because the brain is still developing until about that age. But the group said a lower legal age is needed to keep youth from turning to criminals to buy pot.


    Makes no sense to turn anybody into criminals. I don't hear about charges of 16 year olds being turned into criminals for drinking. The people who should be turned into criminals are the people selling to kids.

    Sure let's make the age 21. Then let's raise the age for booze the same. See how that works out. And since tobacco is more harmful than either, it should be 21 too. That's the advantage the US states had legalizing - they already had a drinking age of 21, so matching pot didn't present a problem.

    I like the part when those who wanted legalization the most have to sign off on a legal age-limit even though they're all people who started imbibing when they were in junior high and considerably under the recommended age that legalization advocates are suggesting.

    It's so funny when it happens to you. How's that all cobbywebby and thoroughly hypocritical "do as I say not as I do" feeling working out for you, gramps? :lol:

    The 60's were almost 60 years ago


    And grade 6ers didn't smoke pot in the 60's. I was an early adopter in my highschool at 15, got scorned for being a hippy. A year later they all wanted to buy from me (I've never dealt) as it became cool. But it wasn't for grade schoolers. It was still easier to buy than booze tho, if you knew where to go. But anything other that pot or acid was basically frowned upon, it wasn't all the shit that's floating about now. Being a speedfreak was seen as very uncool.
