One million hours of UK police time a year 'wasted enforcing cannabis prohibition' - Liberal Democrats want to legalise it, on grounds the ban is an enormous waste of time and money

all you need to do is look at facebook to see how many people jumped to Lib Dem because of weed, and all of them were over 18.

That's speaks about the people you have on Facebook and not the general public. All I've seen on Facebook is people calling it a stupid last ditch attempt to stay relevant.

Just because YOU don't think that people that age are able to make sound decisions doesn't mean they actually aren't, there is a problem in a lot of places where people just don't listen to kids because "they simply don't have enough experience" and honestly its a dumb argument because it means nothing.

You don't need to capitalise "you" it blatantly isn't just me who thinks that, most people do. The only people I see wanting the voting age to be lowered are people that age or those who only want it lowered to skew the demographics and to get another party in. What a surprise Lib Dem voters want younger people to be allowed a vote if it gives them more seats.

Just because there are adults who vote for stupid reasons doesn't mean all 16 year olds should be allowed too. Legally they're still children under 18 so drawing the line at 16 is arbitrary, why not 15?
