Opioids and pot are not the same thing. I know it’s all “drugs” to conservatives.

Doesn’t matter. Republicans today are keeping it illegal to “protect the moral fabric of society.” Own it instead of always deflecting everything to the liberals.

own it???...I have been on here for a decade advocating for hemp/cannabis




and many lefties on here post the garbage of how it is a gateway drug....which it is not




democrats own this just as much as the religious "right" (should be called left since they want government regulations...ala..anti-freedom)

Enlistment at any age is voluntary.

The voting age should be restored to 21, that would provide time to get dry behind the ears.

I'm with you to some extent.


I think 18 is probably a good standard for most things.


I do think that the drinking age is FAR too high.

18 is probably right, with supervised drinking with parents could be lower in my opinion as happens in Europe.


I'd have to sit and think about the rest.

Just curious.
What is your opinion on the legalization of all drugs?
What about prostitution?
How about Abortion? Your body your choice?
Do you think the legal drinking age should be lowered? Should there be one?

Not attacking or looking for an argument, I'm just curious if you have any issues with people having full control over their own bodies.

Personally, I'm fine with regulations. Especially when it comes to smoking, since it not only effects the person doing it but people around them as well.

They should be lifting the minimum draft age to 21 while they're at it.

I think 16 is too young.

18....kids are just going off to college, or starting their careers in other fields if they choose not to get a higher education. If they can enlist at 18 they should be able to drink, smoke, vote,

Ok, so let's pass a bill putting age maximums on some stuff!

1. No one over 60 can drive. Think of the lives saved!
2. No one over 50 can buy alcohol or fatty foods.
3. No tobacco products if you are over 50.

Let's really go full speed stupid nanny state people!
