..name calling in general is the problem, not the names.

No, the subject of this thread was about the chemicals in pot that stimulated the appetite, then the pro-pot crowd jumped in with medicinal pot anecdotes, then I jumped in with the opinion that legalizing pot would be premature before the mentally ill were institutionalized, then someone jumped in accusing me of wanting to "infringe" on pot the way the 2nd. Amendment is infringed now. Anyone who would accuse me of being an enemy of the 2nd. Amendment, is, well, a moron because I believe that the beginning of drug abuse and gun violence, in this country, began with Kennedy signing the CMHC Act of 1963.

Now if you want to go back to your irrelevant tangents, be my guest.

Your post admits you were the first to use name calling as a debating technique. Thank you for admitting that.

Also, I'll go back and look, but it seems that early on you used the childish phrase, "put down the bong". I'll check it out.

How to explain the likes of "Machine Gun Kelly", "Pretty Boy" Floyd, and of course "Bonnie and Clyde". Big "gun violence" types, who lived and died before 1963.
