Regulated/taxed recreational marijuana legal over the age of 25 & any age for validated medical use

1) - I understand that at 18 you can vote and drink and go to war and get married but I think that is ridiculous as well. Its only with an uphill battle at it is set at 18 today. Let take sexual consent. An age of consent statute first appeared in 1275 in England as part of the rape law. The statute, Westminster 1, made it a misdemeanor to "ravish" a "maiden within age," whether with or without her consent. The phrase "within age" was interpreted by Sir Edward Coke as meaning the age of marriage, which at the time was 12 years of age. Check out Stephen Robertson, "Age of Consent Laws," in Children and Youth in History, Item #230, http://chnm.gmu.edu... (accessed January 24, 2016). in the 1800's the average legal age of adulthood was 10-16 in the US and most european countries and territories. In Hamar and Karo societies in Africa, a youth does not enter manhood until he performs the ceremony known as the "Jumping of the Bull" after which he can participate in hunts, defending his clan territory (going to war) and be allowed to marry. For most girls it is after their first period. Among the Twa, when a girl's first menses appear, the girl participates in a rite of passage known as Elima. Secluded in a house for at least a month with other girls who have also just started menstruating, the Twa girl is instructed by an adult woman about being a Twa woman. She is taught, among other things, the history of her people and how to be a good mother and a good wife. When the instruction is over, the girls come out dancing, and the whole community takes part in the Elima festivities. Having been properly instructed and trained, the girls are now eligible for marriage. The age of adulthood is connect to a cultures traditions and societies values of the time, which changes as the society changes and grows or declines, and political drives. I contend that "adulthood" is reached when an individual has shown consistent progress and responsibility in these areas - Financially independent from parents/guardian, is self-suffiencent in skills needed in everyday living and society, has thoughtful consideration to others and how their personal actions can effect others. There are the small percentage of those under 18 -25 that do possess these skills and abilities. But I would contend that they are the exception and not the rule as even most college students, age 18-25, can not properly wash dishes, cook, clean, or handle their bills, and most are still financially dependent on their parents for said college, food, car and cell phone payments, and clothes. Sometimes that is due to the parents wanting the CHILD to focus on schooling but its mostly cause the CHILD does not posses the skills necessary to be independent and therefor are not ADULTS. I could concede that there could be an exception to the 25min age limit extended to those 18 or older using the same procedure and law as an emancipated minor ? That would be a nice middle ground. 2) I say 2 medical doctors because as I stated how a body handles things is different for each individual. Even when a psychologist is prescribing a drug they look as physical tests performed on the body and medical history in order to evaluate doses, possible side effects, and possible drug interactions. The two doctors is because you should always get a second opinion because there are times when a test/exam is subjective and diagnosis can be skewed by the doctors on experience, bias, and the level of their medical knowledge and experience. One doctor can see cancer and tells you to remove your womb while another says you only need specific chemo. A licensed prescribing marijuana psychologist would look at these 2 evaluations and would tell you the risks and benefits leaving the choice to you whether to proceed. An individuals who CHOOSES to go over .5ounces, CHOOSES to do so over the advice of a medical doctor and thereby is liable for ALL consequences due to or under such dose. I chose .5 a month and the limiting of 4 HOUSEHOLD plants cause going online it seemed the most average and comfortable number to provide an average user with a daily relaxant which to me, recreational marijuana should be. If they CHOOSE to obtain more, they are free to do so and by using the card register/purchase system, when they do it will have a timetable of when sellers, doctors, and businesses are no longer liable for the smokers/consumers actions. They can still purchase, smoke, eat more at recreational businesses, which by setting the 4 plant limit boost local businesses as a provider for those that can't even grow a cactus, don't want to invest the time or money into growing their own, or wish to consume more then they themselves grew. I would concede to having a referral from 1 general doctor as long as they have been seeing them for the past year and they have an up to date physical, blood test to give to the prescribing psychologist for 1st time users and for repeat users who have moved or found a new health provider, been seeing their new general doctor for at least 3 months and must give their entire medical history to the prescribing psychologist. If they are recommended NOT to smoke marijuan to due a drug interaction, genetic disposition, or other medical/psycological reason, and STILL CHOOSE too, they take FULL LEGAL LIABILITY UPON THEMSELVES and medical insurance is not obligated to cover cost for medical procedures, treatments, or actions related to the marijuana use. 3) I offer the real time streaming to government because they are the ones regulating it and they are the one's who will deal with crimes pertaining to the marijuana. The surveillance is limited to JUST growing areas for households and surveillance in commercial growers and recreational business is the same as if they were contracted to a private security firm which most businesses do anyway. I would acquiesce to a private security company or a local co-op of growers in a video surveillance system that they monitor AS LONG as the tapes are kept onsite minimum for 1 month and a copy is made and SENT at the end of the month to the local county marijuana office. If a grower/businesses DECIDES NOT to content to video surveillance I contend that they open themselves up to personal liability to any crime or violation on their property or in connection to their plants, drugs, products. 4) The area exclusion and high walls/ private rooms are more about the smoking aspect of marijuana, same as if tobacco smoke and also that even second hand marijuana smoke can physically and mentally affect other around them. The high walls on outdoor seating is a preventative measure from passerby's without a register card or underage from just reaching in and taking while no one is looking or while others are distracted. With glass walls it would be the same as if they were inside except there would just be no roof, and I don't think diners in window seats of restaurants feel humiliated. As for free choice, there are plenty of varieties with low THC that a customer can choose from. As THC has been proven as the addicting factor, particularly against those with the genetic predisposition for it, why risk exposure ? A higher THC is only needed if you want to get stoned or seriously buzzed, both which can inhibit your cognitive and physical abilities, putting yourself and those around you in greater danger so why risk others cause of your personal want ? Recreational marijuanas aim should be as a relaxant, not as a way to hide from your troubles as those wanting to be stoned or buzzed usually wish as those problems will not go away using that method and the cycle will just continue. I would concede to allowing higher THC strains ONLY if the consumer take FULL LEGAL PERSONAL LIABILITY UPON THEMSELVES, criminally and civil, and medical insurance is not obligated to cover cost for medical procedures, treatments, or actions related to the higher THC marijuana use. If your going to go against medical advice, your choosing to take the full consequences upon yourself and other taxpayers should have to foot a medical bill you brought upon yourself with your choice. And in a free market there is room for health insurance specific the marijuana use with a higher premium for those going against medical advice and limits.
