those who get drunk may also get stoned out of their minds

they will have to pay the consequences, just as drunks do

I don't mean this in a nasty way - but you are WAY too young to be so supportive of government intrusions into our personal lives!

Alright. I'm not gonna lie, I enjoy a little alcohol now and then and drug-wise I'm a regular "House." Yeah I'm young, but not only am I working for a future in politics, I want to make a difference. I personally do not want to legalize marijuana, but I would compromise. I see no reason to throw potheads in jail and waste time and money doing so when we could be prosecuting the real bad guys.

You should not be drinking alcohol at your age. Not only are you underage, it is particularly bad on your growing body systems.

She can drink if she wants as long as she is on her property. Don't put people down on what they do with their own lives.

I'm 6'1". Done growing. Not worried about it. Plus, it's really a rare occasion. Maybe a screwdriver every 3 months or so. Thanks though. But as for the vicodin..
