I also see that you left our president out of the picture.

Why is that?

How many potheads can be squeezed into one FR frame?

Besides, I don't keep track of potheads outside of my immediate circle of acquaintances. And, if El Precedente Bush is a pothead, it may explain why marijuana, a very Mexican word, has spoiled his judgment and allowed millions of Mexicans to illegally flood America.

My unfunded study reports that I never saw a pothead who worked long hours to create a business and provide society with the benefits of his sweat.

Rumor has it that, early in Apple's history, bongs were common during "board meetings."

I personally know several business owners who were, at the time they founded their companies, regular pot users. Some still are and some of these companies have over 300 employees.

Sillycon valley gets lots of dope from the north and south and starts more businesses than any other place in the nation, if not the world.

Sounds to me like your study sucks.

Now I get it. Apple had a head start over the IBM PC crowd. It marketed to potheads. I never knew a pothead who would use a PC, they would rather die by their Mac's and pay extra to do so. Apple is a spit in the bucket compared to the PC world. That's what you get with potheads.

LOL!

Ok, let's review. IBM licenses out it's architecture, giving rise to the PC clone. Apple does not follow suit. The cheaper clones sell better that Apple, but they also sell better than IBM. Apple's market share gets diminished while IBM's share becomes virtually extinct.

Apple actually did the smart thing.

You forgot the fact that bread eaters get their stash from bakeries and bread isles in grocery stores where much more harmful baked goods like donuts and cakes are sold. This increases the risk that bread eaters will move on to jelly donuts, cinnamon rolls, and worse.

Pushers are enriching themselves, peddling the poisons you advocate.

Nothing would impoverish them faster than legalization.

[Mojave]

Really? Amphetamines, barbiturates and narcotic drugs are legally available right now through prescriptions at pharmacies.

[Still Thinking]

Oh, the humanity!

[mugs99]

ROFL!!!

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

What does that have to do with what I said?

[Mojave]

It demolished your assertion.

"I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of Gaussian distribution curves. It was a point obvious [sic] in a way, but rarely talked about. I drew curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down. One idea led to another, and at the end of about an hour of extremely hard work I had found I had written eleven short essays on a wide range of social, political, philosophical, and human biological topics"...Carl Sagan

You see, that's why Sagan was great. He took notes when he had a creative thought. I would have just stood there and looked stoopid. ;)

[mugs99]

ROFL!
I would have too!

For credibility, what is needed is a more scholarly study with medical (not political) ends which actually monitors oncogenetic mutation and squamous metaplasia in regular tobacco-free users compared to the non-smoking population at large.

"By this reasoning, why wouldn't a guy that breaks the speed limit just go on to rob a bank? After all, he's already broken the law."

A better analogy would be the guy who robs 7-11's going on to rob banks.

[robertpaulsen]

"This is a much stronger argument for legalization than it is for continued prohibition."

Currently, 30% of marijuana users are underage and most prone to the gateway effect. I would expect that percentage to increase with legalization.

With legalization, therefore, close to half of the marijuana users will still be in contact with illegal suppliers. Unless you're proposing that the legal age be reduced to 12.

"unlike the war on alcohol that required an Amendment"

Ahem.

[robertpaulsen]

Pot IS easier to get than beer. Yet teens today use alcohol 2:1 over pot. Something other than availability is going on, don't you think? Do you know what it might be?
