One of the main pitfalls with being 18 is that you’re too old to be treated like a kid, but too young to be considered an adult.
I have to pay taxes, I have to sign up for selective services, as well as I am old enough to vote.
So how come I can’t buy alcohol or medical marijuana? Why is it fair that I can go to war, yet I can’t buy medical marijuana or drink liquor legally? I have a sizable issue with this. The healthcare expert gave me medical marijuana when I was going through chemotherapy. The doc told me it would help with the nausea as well as pain. My mother had to drive to the medical marijuana dispensary to get the marijuana. I thought this was ridiculous. I told her my innermost thoughts on being eighteen as well as having responsibility but few rights. She told me it had been this way forever, as well as I would just have to get over it. I was supposed to deal with the chemotherapy, as well as get healthy, as well as then I could battle the system. I guessed she was right, but I hated it. It made me feel like a little baby to have my mommy buy my medicine for me. The medical marijuana helped, as the healthcare expert said it could, which made me glad. I was cancer free, and. now I am going to battle for the right to purchase my own medical marijuana if I ever needed it in the future, however luckily, I’ll actually be twenty-one by the time the bill comes through, but it may help other youngsters going through what I experienced.
