Such a Juvenile Wank idea.

Date rape drugs? Alcohol to 5 year olds?

All drugs?

No - and I have never advocated for that, either on this forum nor elsewhere..

Cannabis for over-18s, on the other hand, should definitely be legal.

And please don't bother embarrassing yourself by dragging up all the crap you usually regurgitate on this subject.

Rubbish!

A 13-year-old can't go fight for his country. But we jail 18-year-olds who refuse to.

An 18-year-old has enough smarts to make the cannabis decision for themselves.

You obviously did have the smarts to refrain from too much dope.

And no 18 year old is jailed for refusing to defend the country. Conscription ended 50 years ago, in your lifetime but you don't remember... Cry

Drugs are not a good way to enjoy life.
Drugs have their place, for medication or to aid in healing.

But they are not for recreation.
They destroy lives.
They destroy your health
They destroy your mental capability

Someone who "Needs" drugs to enjoy themselves have a serious problem.

Alcohol alone accounts for many destroyed lives, murders, deaths on the road and ill health resulting in an early grave.
But drugs are more insidious, not as obvious, but seriously more troublesome.

I have lost friends and family to drug abuse.
I have seen the families fall apart as they try to help.
Its not just the selfish users that suffer, the pain is carried to parents, partners, children and even strangers.

My good friend went through hell when his daughter was addicted.
She got to the stage she was injecting into her own eyeball to get a quicker, longer high.
It blinded her, she sold her body, she lost her soul, to some foul animal that profited from her and her families pain.
Eventually she died, many years ago, but the friend has still not recovered, he blames himself.
But at least the pusher is also dead.
Someone injected him with air filled needles and left him to die.

Drug pushers should be put down
Drug abusers dried out in the most painful way possible to discourage re-addiction.
Anyone profiting from drugs should be put down painfully.
And any crops shoukd be napalmed and then the land liberally dosed in agent orange.

I HAVE A DREAM

SUCH A WONDERFUL DREAM

Don't be stupid all your life confusing political 'laws' with the natural behaviour and growth of children. Political Laws can be wrong and detrimental. Nature isn't!

Maybe you're a book publisher and by calling them young (then) adults, you can exploit a new $$ market?

Remember, 18 year olds are still at 'school' as 13 year olds - both are still 'kids' by the Educational System.

Your youth Kat, must have been like a pre-mature ejaculation if you thought you were mature enough before you reached 20. Grin

A thirteen-year-old is given leniency for any considered crime they commit. They are given leniency until they are 16 years old. And whatever a 13y.o. say that is considered illegal in adulthood would only be considered convictable if the prosecution can prove that there was illegal intent behind what was said.

A person 18 (or 19) years of age has matured enough to know the law and have a clear understanding of right and wrong. Drug usage for an early teenager might lead to impairment of their developing body. Drug usage for an adult would lead to impairment of their body. In either case, drugs should not be available to them.

A teenager is a Child.
That includes 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 year olds.
It's a law of nature that over-rides any religious, political or military excuses of exploitation.

As one 19 year old who got all tough with me, found out when I didn't put my BIG AUSSIE HANDS on him, via his 'emotional blackmail' of being a 'kid' - when my female friend 'Big Momma Tofu from Tonga' came and bitchslapped his sorry arse around. Grin

Turn 20 and any smart-arse gets his jaw broken. Wink

But most 20 year olds are 'adult' enough and smart enough not to use 'emotional blackmail' as a 'kid' to be a smart arse. Lips Sealed
