"I started drinking and smoking marijuana when I was ten years old and now I'm fifteen years old. I'd go into my parents liquor cabinet and have parties and invite my friends over whenever my parents were out-of-town. We would see how much we could drink before we did something silly. My best friend Susan was 18 years old. One night, we decided to drive to the mall and hang out. Susan was the only one with a drivers license. That night Susan seemed kind of out-of-it, and I know I shouldn't have gotten into the car with her, but I didn't want to show that I was scared or chicken to drive with her. I never knew that Susan had been arrested before for drunk driving. She was my best friend but she never told me that. Anyway, that night on the way to the mall, we had the radio blasting and we never heard the oncoming fire engine. I can't remember exactly what happened, but I ended up in the hospital for 3 months with a broken pelvis and punctured lung. My best friend Susan died at the scene. I went through drug rehabilitation and I'm okay today. But I will never forget what happened and I'll never party with drugs or alcohol again and I'll never drive with anyone who drinks and uses DRUGS!"

I have to say that is one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. If YOU were to do your research,not only on does it have affects on the body but the brain as well marijuana is a mild haluginogen and has many effects not only on the body but the brain as well such as lung cancer and yes impaired judgement.I'm so angry at the fact that you made it ok to be under the influence and operate a vehicle, it slows down your reaction time so if someone were to be walking across the street you COULD'T react as you would if you were sober and potentially kill them or even worse hit another car and

The American way of restricting alcohol access to kids and letting them drive clearly doesnt work.
In the UK we do not punish underage drinkers in anything like the same way. It would be unheard of to have a party get busted, or parents getting into trouble for allowing kids alchol.
By making it so illegal, you simply encourage kids to break the law, and once its been broken once, it will be broken again.
It would make much more sense to raise the driving age and lower the drinking age, like the UK has, we have lowere drinkdrive rates, lower alcohol related crimes, lower drug crime, l
