Can't you, like, buy weed at 18? Or what about vapes? Plenty of literal children using those.
There's no state that allows recreational purchase under 21. Vapes are considered a tobacco product regardless of nicotine content and also require you to be 21.
Where I live weed is 21, tobacco is 18
im guess im assuming you live in the us, but you might want to double check that.
Tobacco sales to anyone under the age of 21 has been federally illegal since 2021.
My state too, weirdly.
https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess125_2023-2024/bills/3548.htm#:~:text=Section%2016%2D17%2D500.,the%20age%20of%20eighteen%20years. As of January 10th, 2023, the minimum age in SC is 18. I cannot find anything in the Bill that mentions 21 being the minimum age.
Uh. Federal law is that cannabis is illegal, yet that doesn't stop sales. It does effect prosecution when feds decide to, for sure.
The federal minimum age overrides the state. Generally speaking, state laws can be stricter, but not more lenient than federal laws that cover the same subject.
All tobacco and vape got set to 21 and over where I live so just military and adult jail as benefits of turning 18 now.
No longer have to lie about age on 18+ sites
Yeah but often 1/1/1900 is still easier on shitty ui sites lol
Voting?
Alcohol?
That's been 21 for a lot longer than tobacco.
I love america
It's all thanks to the federal interstate highway fund. Setting the minimum drinking age to 21 was a condition to receiving the highway money.
I choose to believe in this more than in Q-Anus conspiracy
It's all Ronald Reagan's doing.
