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

I repudiate that. Overt name calling, yes, but in response to the covert name calling directed at me below:

"This sounds like the liberal attitude toward guns. Is this your take on guns as well? Why are you at Free Republic?"

I don't feel any contrition to having called him a "moron" in response to such innuendo.

Just can't wait for the Liberaltarians to chime in with justifications for pot use.

No, you ______, pot decriminalization and/or legalization. And I don't use it.

How about your justification for pot's prohibition?

I believe it was hijacked into a WOD/Pot Legalization thread.

The first mention of legalization was by an opponent, in post #10.

I suspect growing "good stuff" is no more difficult than growing good tomatoes

I'm not aware that one has to prevent fertilization to get good tomatoes.

You don't, instead you must encourage it, something that can be difficult in pesticide ridden cities with few bees. However the details might differ, I still suspect the level of difficulty is about the same. One must not only prevent the wrong fertilization, but provide the correct fertilization in order to grow hybrid seed corn. Legions of "Jutes", are used in this endeavor in many areas.

I grew very nice tomatoes this summer, and all I did was plant and fertilize (once).

fertilize

By which I mean "put down Miracle Gro soil."

You must like it. You are paying a lot of attention to it.

Your argument is so ridiculous it's tough to ignore.

LOL, "what about it" is that's when you started the nonsense.

It took you only 'til your second post to descend.

It's irrelevant in any case, carry on. You had no credibility the moment you made that comment, so all the rest is Nada.

When you are in a hole, it's always a good idea to stop digging.

That's right. Name calling is as irrelevant as are the arguments for legalizing marijuana. Neither are productive.

Depends on what you are trying to produce.

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.

These people were criminally mentally ill. Or are you going to argue that they were, somehow, "sane"? Prohibition was the social vehicle through which they could be violent and the depression the reason that their were too few mental institutions. Actually, mental hospitals are the province of the rich and crazy, violent lifestyles the province of the poor and crazy. World War II put most of the violent men of the 1940's in the army. Right now, the prisons are full of their types who should be in mental hospitals. Permanently.

Actually, I'm trying to prevent future occurrences like the "Stockton School Yard Massacre" and the ensuing gun control that proceeds from societies lack of controlling the mentally ill. The free use of marijuana among the mentally ill does not help the cause of the 2nd. Amendment.

So, to simplify the issue for the attention impaired, its either legalize marijuana and loose the 2nd. Amendment or hospitalize the mentally ill and keep your rights to firearms.

OK you pot heads, take your pick! Your guns or your joints? The crazy and the Democrats won't let you have both.

Can't help yourself can you?

Your guns or your joints?

It's only your opinion that those are the only two choices.

as he says while still living in his parent's basement watching reruns of Gilligan's Island.

You sure about that Clint?

A common misconception.

It's always easy to spot the junk science. They almost always talk about a single aspect of a system and use it as THE defining factor for the study.

Not really. The coincidence of steadily decreasing drug laws and the explosion of gun control is too obvious for the attentive to miss. As drug use goes up, gun violence goes up and increased gun control occurs.

From Patrick Purdy in Stockton, California, to Thomas Hamilton in Dunblane, Scotland, the one common denominator is a long known history of mental illness. That marijuana causes increased psychotic episodes, in the known mentally ill, is also another common precursor to violence.

I'm willing to bet you a $1,000.00 that those who have gone "postal" have used pot, or another illegal drug, or stopped their legal "meds", at least 72 hours before they started shooting people.

Until you can prove the things you say, it is only your opinion.

The bet thing is a real non starter on-line.

Not to mention the research you have to do to prove your dubious point.
