The Issue

By 2050, full-adult rights are available for every person over the age of 18 using the 26th Amendment (expanding the right for 18 year olds to vote) to also include drinking age, running for president/congress age, prevention of casino, rental car, and hotel age limit laws. However, the age to be considered a legal adult will not change and these rights are not granted to emancipated minors because the amendment includes the specific age, not the status of being a legal adult and does not include any change in DEA drug scheduling, meaning legal age for Marijuana and other substances are done by states. We want more participation in society for the future generation. 


We envision a world where the youth and elderly are more connected with strong young minds and can live in a destigmatized era full of curiosity and hope.
