Was just offering a few tidbits, sorry got everybody Torked.

I've been lurking this thread and haven't gotten torked at your comments. You're just wrong but that's ok. I smoked enough pot to fill a barn when I was growing up. Smoked it morning, noon and night. My brain wasn't scrambled. I was a straight A student and a member of the National Honor Society year after year. No brag, just fact.

The claims made in this article and other studies cited in this thread by other posters are just so full of bull that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

BTW, as for the addiction claims, I stopped smoking it cold turkey many, many years ago. I never missed it at all. Now, my beer on the other hand, what do they say? FMCDH :-)

“Unsafe in Any Amount”

Who are we now, Ralph Nader? Since when is it government’s job to keep us 100% safe?

[Osage Orange]

How many do you want?

Google it yourself....

No, what you are is a poster on a rant fest. That can't seem to say you were wrong...after being proved wrong over and over again.

You will have the last word.

Mark Levin spoke out against Raich and its trampling of the Tenth Amendment. Drug war whores should take heed:

Not all are liberials, some are libertarian Paul types. Yeah I know it’s adorable...

[AllAmericanGirl44]

I can vouch for this - was at a Scorpions concert last year here in IL and yes, there was plenty of smokin going on ~

[easternsky]

Well perhaps never met you. I did not say anything in my posts about addiction. My God People defend this you must, but speak against it I will.

Thank you Hillary. It takes a village...

Concerts seem so sterile these days.....no soul.

[logician2u]

Legalization is one of the areas where libertarians are right.

One?

You have to start with a premise.

The premise is "You own your own body."

What follows from that gives certain types of people the willies.

[easternsky]

You have no idea how I work with Children, and to put what I do in with a category with the likes of Hillery is flippant, and pure Stupidity.

William F. Buckley

Here's your sign.

[Responsibility2nd]

Welcome to the thread. You’re late.

Way up thread I predicted someone might say Buckley. Lots of dopers loved Bill Buckley.

But there is two things wrong with your answer.

1. He’s dead.
2. He was no conservative.

[starlifter]

Yes dear.

I stand by what I said! Either you were honest about working in ER's, and by that experience knew there was no such thing as a patient dying from marijuana use (ha!), or else you were both clueless and dishonest. Well, you knew you were wrong and you were honest about having worked in an ER...(Audience goes: "YAAYYY!!"), but knowing you were wrong you tried sneaky subterfuge to bluff your way through (Audience goes "BOO-OO!!").

Advice from a detestable NOOB (as if all the other labels and epithets weren't enough! LOL)...The place to quit, traditionally, is when one is ahead. Quitting when one is flailing...well, you're more familiar with that than I.

Sorry for the harshness, but you gave me a "last word challenge"...grounder for a triple.

P.S. ... You were just owned, by a STONED opponent, in a "legalize weed" debate.

He slides into home...HOME RUN!! Please tip your waitresses, ladies and gentlemen... ;^)

My first post was #4.

Here's another sign.

[easternsky]

Thank you, now go to your room

De-criminalization of marijuana would cost the corporate media elites billions in advertising revenue becuase alcohol sales would plummet. Politically connected special interest groups like for profit prisons and the prison guards union would also suffer. However, farmers would benefit from being allowed to grow industrial hemp and manufacturing workers would benefit from making consumer goods from industrial hemp.

Making marijuana illegal just to enrich the Alcohol Industry, Corporate Media, and the Incarceraton Industry is a perfect example of why crony capitalism is bad for a free market economy.

and how much thc does any plant variety have? how has that plant been bread?

puff? what the heck measure is “puff”? puff of cigar? cigarillo? joint? roach?

even pot heads know that since they go to their “medicine” store and buy different variants which mix and match.

sell the lies to the stoners.

there is ZERO control of such dosage.
