Raises an interesting question....now that marijuana is medicine, is there an age restriction? Or could a doctor prescribe it to a five year old?

I know a guy that made good money running Coors beer into Oregon back in his college days.
I remember when NJ raised the drinking age to 21 while in NY it was still 18. On any given Fri or Sat night, the parking lots at every bar and liquor store in Rockland and Orange Counties were filed with cars with NJ tags.

Now. Let impose a minimum of 21 years for voting.

All I know is, thank G-D ALMIGHTY, my lovely daughter never took up smoking. My S-I-L did but thankfully quit some time ago. In fact hardly any of their friends smoke cigarettes, though a couple of them mess around a little with pot. This generation seems to get the message, at least in this respect.

I wonder when they’ll get the bright idea to bring back 3.2 beer for the 18-21 crowd...

At what age in TAXPAYER FUNDED PUBLIC SCHOOL are they taught about gay sex? Kindergarten, it seems!
How about we let the kids smoke at say, age 6, but save the gay stuff for when they hit 21? Bet there’d be a lot fewer RECUITS into that hive of scum and villainy!

No. Smoking is stupid, but people should have the right to be idiots. Choosing to smoke is nowhere near as dumb as choosing to vote for Obama, and their Nanny State allowed them to make that horribly destructive decision. Cancer, perhaps, and only after a few decades, is trivial in comparison.

“Kids are being brought to Oregon for treatment with marijuana extracts.”
Is this for cancer? If the case is hopeless, then I don’t suppose it really matters. I’m not going to wish that a kid spend his entire life in pain. But I have to wonder if spending your entire life stoned is really a better option.

The Unsupreme Soviet in Sacrament is flailing at windmills... This will do no good. It will just drive the cigarette purchases underground

Dont think it will work to discourage smoking. However a tax increase would work. Econ 101.There is no elasticity of demand with cigarettes
