Mini-guns and S&W .500's then. That'll clear out the rabble pretty quick. Anyone with any ammount of THC in their bloodstream, including those who like other vegatables with trace amounts of THC in them, should be summarily rounded up and shot.

That'll teach 'em...

To the user only. Any other actions are incidental and should be punished under those statutes, including by said victim at the point of offense and preferrably terminal to the perpetrator.

Or don't you like gun rights either?

And next you will try and claim increased medical and socialist services costs do harm to others. Using socialism to excuse fascism...

You really are a wonder aren't you...

The "Gateway Effect" is real. Not necessarily because the "users" are seeking stronger drugs, but because they have already violated the law by using marijuana. In other words, they have already crossed the line that prohibits them from using illegal drugs -- so why not try the rest?

This is a much stronger argument for legalization than it is for continued prohibition. I assume you are not making the circular argument that pot should stay illegal because it is illegal? I've certainly heard that one a time or two from the Drug War true believers.

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.

You need a larger sample size. There are plenty of them out there.

And even if it were true, that's not a strong enough argument for keeping the stuff illegal in my book.

LOL... You know me so well. That is why I'm on dozens of RKBA threads here on FR arguing against other conservatives that aren't pro-2A ENOUGH.

Can't argue the pro-drug war line so attack on another front. You've read the book on obfuscating a threat topic I see. Ad homenim. Insinuation. False pretense. Logic inconsistancies...

Sheesh... this is why I gave up on arguing on these threads... Make a good argument, get trolled by pro-drug war nanny staters anyway...

I say no person is an island, and there's no reason to allow easier access to pot and above destruction to individuals.

So, you are one of those that WANTS to be your Borhter's keeper. Or is it that you feel insecure in your own identity and must be "kept" by another. Else you could do incalcuable warm to yourself or others...

Sounds like a personal problem. Stop projecting this on others though.

And yet, Signapore still has a drug culture. HHhhmm... maybe we should just execute anyone we THINK may be a drug user. Just to be safe...

If a national debate about pot accomplishes nothing more than robbing congress of the opportunity to do something stupid, then it will be more than worth having.

You transparent potheads.. Wow. The sarcasm must be really intense when high.

You have as little cause to accuse Dead Corpse of being a pothead, as I do to accuse you of being a drug dealer who supports prohibition to keep competition away and prices high.

How long have you been a drug pusher, HDwha? How many kids have you hooked on drugs?

Pro-drug war. It fits. Nanny Stater- advocate that individuals cannot be allowed to make their own decisions about their life and must have said decisions made for them. What foods to eat. What items are ok for recreational ingestion. Don't walk. Don't run. Speak when spoken to. Pay your taxes and be a good little cog in the ever expanding government wheel....

Yeah... it wasn't so much an ad hominem attack as an accrurate description. You did say that "no man is an island" didn't you? What next? It's for the children?

Actually, I'm pro-freedom. Pro-liberty. And real heavy into personal responsibility. You screw your life up, tough. It isn't my problem.

It is only you Nanny Staters MAKING it my problem by forcing me to give up my tax money to fund your idiot and ineffectual drug war.

You feel that individuals should be restrained from doing damage to themselves via some liberal ephemera of some kind of mutual socialistic parasite mechanism.

So yeah.. pro-drug war nanny stater. Government as surrogate parent.

No thanks. Our "liberty" has been trammeled quite enough thank you...
