In NYC, until you're 21: No weed, no spray paint, no vaping, no large magic markers, no whipped cream propellant, no alcohol, no tobacco... I don't know of any other country that has laws like this, and many of these things are even legal in the US before you are 21, as long as you're not in NYC.

Weed, alcohol, and tobacco are for 21 and above in most US states. But yeah I wish it were 18, at least for tobacco and alcohol. Weed I actually get, you need to be good at moderating that shit.

Of the countries that don't have a total ban on alcohol, such as the Islamic countries, the US has the highest drinking age I have ever heard of, and it was only imposed nation-wide here in the 1980s. For tobacco, this rule is even more recent. As to what you say about weed, I dunno. By the time I was 21, I had smoked about 95% of all the weed I was ever gonna smoke!

Yeah, it is pretty high. There are only a handful of countries with that age. The rest are 18 or younger.
