1. When one decides it is no longer acceptable personally.
Who can say what's acceptable for another?

6. I saw John Carrol speak once and made a good point...
If God didn't want us to smoke pot, he wouldn't have invented movie theaters...

52. I think that's still too young.
Brains are still developing at that young age. I think it's best left alone until full physical maturity has been reached, at least 18 or 19 years old.

11. One cannot know the age at which they are going to leave this world.
So, in all fairness, I cannot answer your question with a number. However, if a person feels they no longer want the magical mystery weed from Mother Nature, then sadly they must stop parting their lips and part ways with sweet Mary Jane if they see fit.

In other words, whenever someone feels like it, if they do feel like they want to quit.

16. Once one grows up and realizes that you don't need to drink or smoke...
anything in order to have a good time or relax. If you have to look outside yourself to feel good, it's sad. I've never been into using drugs or alcohol, so maybe I just don't "get it."

19. Last time I smoked pot, I was 20.
So for me, I would say "twenty."

It may be different for others.

20. When it's no longer fun...
I stopped weed because all it did was make me stupid and tired. The better the weed, the dumber I got. Good one-hit Cali Sinse just made me lie on the sofa for days and watch videos.

So I gave it up for shrooms, coke, speed and ludes :D

24. It's not an issue of age
If you're getting along through life, and pot isn't stalling your progress, then smoke up. If not, smoke up and reconsider how much effect on your life it ~is~ having, and whether it's negative or positive

29. Always acceptable
Is this a trick question?

Now, if you overdo it, your body has its way of letting you know, and you should listen to it. I smoke a lot less now, but don't see a day when I'll quit altogether.

56. I not only approve of drug testing, I also like to participate in it
In fact, I'm looking forward to testing some this weekend.
However, I don't think it should be "mandatory".

34. Wouldn't know, I never found it acceptable for me at any age.
So from my experience it's not acceptable before 40, and counting. But that's me, and I've never had a medical condition which could be helped by it.

I'm not worried what anyone else does. Aside from lying to invade innocent nations to slaughter 100K people, that is.

Edited on Wed Nov-23-05 09:25 AM by Shell Beau
I quit b/c I plan on starting a family soon and that is something I feel I don't want to do anymore. Not to say I wouldn't take a puff every now and then, but for me, it was just time to stop. And I did stop a couple of years or so ago. Some people never stop and I guess that is okay too! :)

I am glad I outgrew it, but I wish I had done so earlier.

I hate the stuff, and it will never be acceptable in my eyes. I'm not in favor of the legal sanctions, but neither am I in favor of using.

60. No age is acceptable to smoke pot.
I am not condemning nor condoning it, but I believe that if possible, that everyone should avoid addictive substances. I have smoked pot, but for a very short time. I have done coke for a while, but was able to kick that habit. I smoke and I drink wine, but I believe these habits are much less dangerous than the drugs.
