Perhaps if you put down the budBING-BING-BING! There's the baseless accusation of drug use. Your John Walters kewpie doll is in the mail.
Yes, it is a great stretch of the imagination to suppose that someone who is constantly posting about the beneficial effects of marijuana and how it should be totes legalized could somehow be offended at the suggestion that they might toke a bit.

Licenses. Issued automatically, and only revoked for cause.That would beat the Hell out of the status quo.
It is a measure I could support. Arguing that there is no vested public interest in regulating the consumption of narcotics is not a position I can support.

Well I recall you did use the word "Alcohol" and you did invite a comparison. If you are making a different argument, it is so subtle that no one can discern it. As I've explained to you more than once, the point is to see if what you posted was a principle or merely a rationalization - if the former, you'll apply it consistently, including to the drug alcohol.

Who said re-criminalize booze? I certainly didn’t.
I don’t think we should legalize another intoxicant. You may feel otherwise. My point is - use a better argument than alcohol is already legal so pot should be too.
It’s a childish argument.
To: DiogenesLamp
constantly posting about the beneficial effects of marijuana When have I done that? I've occasionally noted that it has some medical uses, nothing more.
and how it should be totes legalized could somehow be offended at the suggestion that they might toke a bit.
I'm noting your attempt to discredit me with sleazy ad hominems.

I’ll listen to an argument about potential tax revenue generated from pot sales. Maybe an argument about jobs created by a legal distribution system, etc. I may not agree, but I’ll read it.
I know many pot smokers are responsible. I get it. I’ve seen it. It’s the same with booze. Where does it end though? I’m sure there are functioning heroin users too.

I know many pot smokers are responsible. I get it. Ive seen it. Its the same with booze. Where does it end though?Wherever we say it does - and the fewer the responsible users left under the ban, and the narrower and thus more enforceable the ban, the less support there will be for further legalization.

>""Ill listen to an argument about potential tax revenue generated from pot sales. Maybe an argument about jobs created by a legal distribution system,"Those are temporary systems.
Unless you're willing to murder people for the content of their flower gardens. Which explains the current system.
Once again, what kind of person MURDERS someone else over their CHOICE in drugs or treatments? Yes Cannabis is medicinal! Just because a lot of people take it purely for one of the side effects does NOT mean it isn't a medical CHOICE!

Well said. Criminals are criminals b/c they want something for nothing. And they will figure a way to get it.

Must be true. Look at the living example we have in the Whitehouse.

My sister smoked pot almost daily from 10th grade until her second year of grad school. She earned a 4.0 in HS, and a 3.93 at IU as a double-major... Chemistry and Biology... and this was back before good grades were handed out for showing up.
Everyone is different.

Michael Browns brain was semi functional at best due to smoking all those marijuana blunts. This fat arse, flabby giant thought he could push anyone around to get his candy as in drugs as in marijuana. He found out too late you cannot push around an armed policeman. Without the gun this policeman Darren Wilson would be in the hospital
Guns are the equalizer

And they went into gambling dope loan sparking bank robbery etc. until they settled on dope predominantly. The will find some way to profit.

(And notice how much of what they did move into involves voluntary adult acts - laws against which are by the nature of the act much more difficult to enforce than laws against real crimes with actual victims.)

We will see where they go. What the criminals decide to do. IMHO it is a sure bet criminals won’t move into productive work

On losing their customers to legal options, some criminals - though perhaps not many - move into productive work; others will throw themselves on the voluntary mercies of family, friends, and acquaintances; and of those who remain criminals, more of them will end up safely (for us) in prison because they had to turn to real crimes with actual victims, which are by their nature much more often solved.
