so why is it the authorities close one eye on that day? wouldn't it be equivalent of setting your own trap?
not that i mean it's bad... but it really puzzles me.

nauster: They don't have enough cell space to house everyone from j day, plus they know we will all be roaring lions and drag the court system down

please don't sell J day out to under 18's. If they want to smoke in private, it's their business. but we should not give politicians a good excuse to perpetuate prohibtion just because we seem to condone this sort of behaviour.
j day attendees have to be ambassadors of responsible drug use.

| You could always fence off an area with a bouncer at the gate. That way maybe you could start ID'ing people. |

going to a public place so you can use it for an illegal purpose... thats like closing a road so you can do burnouts

| Its a tough one with youngins turning up. Would it be better to have them there as a 'responsible' attempt to educate, rather than shun and have them cause havoc in town? Though i agree having <18s could easily be twisted by media and politicians into some fuel for their warmachine... I guess its all about choice, my first toke was a tad before 18 after all and no doubt im not the only one. |

yeah. kids can turn up if they like... but having the media there to catch an underaged kid having a toke...(which we can't help if they are there for that purpose) will be one step back from law reform.
we know how unreasonable politicians are already. i say better try not to shoot ourselves in the foot.
however i must say that implementing it is the hard part. i wonder what norml has in mind.
edit: ha.. i see musick said the same thing... you guys reply faster than i can catch up!
