I can only find one problem with any type of anarchism.
What would happen with kids? With no laws preventing drug use in underages what will happen?
Everybody knows that "education" is not the answer. Maybe there is already an answer to the drug problem. If it is please tell me. The problem I see is that kids are not conscient of the harmfull efects of some drugs and cant use them responsibly.

Do you really think that drug & alcohol laws stop underage people from drinking and doing drugs?

Depends on the country.

But harder drugs are much more difficult to get for an underage whith laws.

(Of course we are not talking about marijuana, which should be legal for everybody)

Why is education not the answer? If we educate people about the harms of drugs, they'd evaluate things and decide for themselves. Besides, you have to take into account that drugs aren't as bad as they're made out to be in this day and age.

I think he meant "would be", as in in an anarchist society.

Personally I'd say 15 or 16 for everything, and up to the parents before that.

Okay, what do you think the age limit should be?
I don't know. It's one of the few issues I'm undecided about.

You will never get your kids out of the house, but I'm sure you'll make you little stoner kids very happy.


Don't count on it. They got free rein to get drunk baked as many times as they want, but they gotta pay their own way. And when they turn 18 they either get a job, go to college or I toss them out on their asses.

What's your opinion on consensual sex?


Age of consent should be 13 or 14.

The point being is that is a rather young age by societal norms.

In most places it's between 14 and 16. Very few countries actually have it at 18, and despite what people think, only a few states in the US have it at 18.

And the drinking age is 21. Again, your point?
