I will give YE another 24 hours after the original post to advocate, otherwise I will table this.

As some of you who have been around for a while know, I use to oppose this and voted against lowering it from 21 to 19 but I've a had a chance of heart. There should be one age of consent, 18, for everything I think. Once you're an adult you're an adult.

I use to think of it differently, but consider I grew up in a heavy LDS area and the gambling age, which is a big deal in my state, is 21, I hope you understand.

I believe we should keep the age of alcohol consumption stay where it is, as it's at a good number, but  we should relax the criminal punishment for using substances like alcohol, as well as other stuff like recreational drugs. The current punishments are very, very harsh. I'd say instead of raising or lowering the age, we should instead loosen the punishment when these crimes are broken.

72 hours of debate with very little input. Do we need to go to a final vote?

Considering how the bill is straight to the point, and how nobody seems to have objection, I second this.
