I can guarantee you the most dangerous part of using any substance is our legal system. Legalize everything for anyone 21 or older, and while we're at it, raise the enlistment age to 21. If you're old enough to die for this country, you should be old enough to light a j in it.

And raise the voting age to 21 too?

  I don't see a problem here, politics is probably bad for brain development. 25 might actually be more appropriate.

  Voting age should be low. Maybe 8? 0 is good to I'm not kidding. Talk to any 8 year old and they're much more level headed compared to those 10x their age. But the current system is set up to crush them relying only on the good will of seniors to protect their future. This isn't a new idea btw https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/nov/16/reconstruction-after-covid-votes-for-children-age-six-david-runciman https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/nov/16/reconstruct...

    Wouldn't this in effect give a parent with multiple children multiple votes. Mail in voting means you'd just fill out the ballots for your kids. I think voting should remain at 18. Although I have some ideas on making more concerns local. Why does most of my tax dollars go to the federal government rather than the state. At the State level at least I have a remote chance of being heard. And if I don't like what my state is doing, I can drive 50 miles to another.

Meh decriminalize possession and consumption, sure. I don't think something like heroin should be easily available though.

  You can either tax, regulate and make it safe. Or have addicts die in the street. Prohibition doesn't work.

    Addicts are going to die in the steet if it's regulated and legal too. I'm not sure you understand what heroin addiction does to people.
