Are you too young to smoke out? by: Craig K

So, as many of you know I am an advocate for the reform of marijuana laws. I believe that marijuana should be legalized both for medicinal purpose and for recreational purpose. I believe it should be regulated, taxed and have age limits applied to it. I also believe that any American should have the ability to grow their own for personal consumption without penalty or fee's. Also, as many of you know, I am not a smoker. I maybe smoke around 3-5 times a year and have followed this pattern for almost 14 years or since I was around twenty years old.
I did however smoke VERY regularly from the time I was around 14 until I was around 20 years old. IF I COULD CHANGE THAT, I WOULD! Do you know how many people say, "I wouldn't change it for the world."???? We I would have. Unfortunately for me and for many other youths marijuana was a FULL TIME get away for me. I disregarded all of my responsibilities just to smoke marijuana. School, Family, Work, Chores, etc... All I wanted to do was smoke out. And that exactly what I did.
Unfortunately for me, it affected many aspects and areas of my life that I still struggle with today at 34 years old. Never mind the fact that the brain continues to develop until the age of around 20-22 years old. Any other foreign substance being introduced into the body during this time period can have a negative impact on the health of one’s permanent mental status. Am I saying I am a bit CRAZY? Well of course. Aren’t we all? And of course we breathe and consume toxins every day in our life without even touching a drug. That’s another subject all together.
My point is simply that I do not advocate the use of marijuana by younger people. I believe an age limit should be applied to any reform in marijuana laws and would hope that with some of the revenue the taxes would produce that we educate our kids to know the importance of responsible marijuana use.
Of course many of you out there in web space are like WTF man? "I'm 17 years old and a true stoner!" I understand where you are coming from. It’s cool and fun. But it can also have a very negative impact on your future if you are not responsible with its use.
Be careful.
