Looks like it’s only 99.5% who try pot do not go on to become heroin addicts.

I'm fine with treating it like alcohol, with one caveat: ZERO public assistance for those users who toke themselves into befuddled unemployabilty. But you know that, as with alcoholism, they'll declare it a disease and fund the user's habit out of OUR pockets.

I realize that and have been building engines for 50 years. Just starting on a Buell tuber right now. The comment did illustrate the point for a non-technical reader.

You tried to link marijuana legalization to increase in OD deaths. I presented evidence which contradicted that - the fact that the US has 10x the death rate for ODs than Portugal and the Netherlands.

If mj legalization were a cause of OD deaths, then their death rates should be at least as high as the US. But don't let those pesky facts get in the way.

As a non-user of marijuana, and a casual observer of my neighborhood, I agree with Badboo.

My views aren’t swayed by user-advocates.
