How many alcoholics do you know that are successful in life? None, right. But, better question, how many drinkers do you know that are successful in life? Most. Pot heads are the alcoholics of pot.

Pot is stupidity in a bag for sale to the "highest" bidder.

You don't get out much do you. I know more successful Pot smokers, than I do burn outs.
I also know several losers/burnouts, who's problems are more than just smoking pot..
They have other problems, or addictions.

One is sitting in the White House at the moment. I'd say he's a success.

Just in case nobody knows- President Bush is a recovering alcoholic. By his own admission.

He's also carefully avoided denying past drug use.

Well, Pot is a toxin

If there's no toxic (fatal) dose, it's not a toxin.

Did you happen to see the episode of Enterprise a few weeks back where Archer was sentenced there? Good episode, but bad ending.

With a cursory scan, this looks pretty reasonable, to me.

Provide evidence that anyone has ever died of "marijuana poisoning."

More reasonable than US federal policy?

In NYS, possession of less than 7/8 of an ounce (about 24 grams) is a very minor misdemeanor. (Class D I believe) This is in line with that.

Yes, watched it. I find, though Enterprise started edgy, they have same problem as all "new" star treks...limp wristitess. Deep Space 9 finally shook it off, but was ended. Next Generation was extremely pathetic....lets talk feelings....if I wanted feelings, would watch any number of Russian/American/British or German limpwrist shows...which, coincidentally, my wife loves.

Well, Pot is a toxin

If it is, it isn't toxic enough to determine what a lethal dosage would be.

The estimated lethal human dose of intravenous Marinol is 30 mg/kg (2100 mg/70 kg). Using this estimation of lethal dose, the equivalent inhaled THC would represent the smoking of 240 cannabis cigarettes with total systemic absorption of the average 8.8 mg of THC in each cigarette.

Am I saying it likely? No, not likely. Am I saying possible? Yes, it is. It is a poison, like alcohol or nicotine, just a very low level poison. Next.

Provide evidence that it's possible for a person to smoke 240 joints in a row.

She'll need to see your badge first.
