I also think a lot more needs to be done to keep the legal drinking age of 18 here, if not put to 21. It's also way too easy to get alcohol these days, people don't realize how much it takes control of your senses, and teenagers think it's "cool" or "rebellious" to go out at the age of 14 and get themselves absolutely mashed when they can't handle a few pints of lager. I'm all 100% for people, at the age of 16 and up, smoking weed and drinking at HOME, under the eye of a responsible adult. That way the drinking and drug taking doesn't taken onto the streets, and people have less chance of getting hurt. After all, the most important thing when it comes to drink and drug taking is to learn your own limits, learn when you've taken enough or too much. It's much better than going out on your 18th and drinking too much because you don't know when you've had too much, possibly resulting in having your stomach pumped and a severe hangover in the morning. The law on weed here, I think is about right. Most of the police around here don't care if you have any on you, as long as it is a small amount and you're not intending to sell it on. It is the same at a few good festivals too. You can smoke up right in front of security or a police officer, and they won't do a thing. If you're high as a kite you're a lot less likely to go around in an angry mob kicking the turd out of people like some people might do with heavy drinking.
