i agree, i mean, the curfews are violating the constitutional bill of rights, and even though teens are minors, they are citizens and are not exempt from the basic constitutional rights

They give curfews for safety precautions. You say its only to keep track of us. Well, what if they didnt try to keep track of us? How unsafe would the streets be? They arent giving curfews to torture you it is for your own safety. You dont know who can be on the streets, and worse yet you wont be able to see them. Who cares if you have to go home an hour or two earlier, its worth it if you compare it to risking your life. So if you think about it their doing you a favor.

Technically, marijuana isn't the fiber you are refering to, it's hemp. Before you post your public opinion, try and get your facts straight.
