Wtf Aren't these the type of things that the government and not the common citizen should decide? This is plebiscite democracy up to eleven.

There's always exceptions, but there are way too many 16-year olds who are in no way responsible enough to vote, drink or smoke weed. There are 18-year olds like that too obviously, but probably significantly less than 16-year olds.

Any new laws in California have to be approved by the electorate, then added to the state constitution. Fun fact California has the longest Constitution in the word Also P1: Yes P2: Yes P3: No (keep Water wild) P4: Yes P5: No (rich can move less) P6: Yes (the government should not decide the tax rates without citizens approval) P7: No (I like daylight savings) P8: Yes P10: Yes P11: Yes P12: Yes “Sport has the power to change the world.
