“Simple: only someone with a doctor’s recommendation can get medical marijuana.”

Which can be obtained for a few dollars.

No scarlet fish here...the point is quite simple...I have to live with laws I don’t approve of.

“That point is irrelevant to any matter under discussion - and thus is a red herring. Understand?”

I decided it was relevant to the discussion as I understand quite well.

Do you have anything further to add to the discussion?

I need only point to California people vs. kelly in 2010 as one of a string of decisions that has made medical marijuana use recognized as a right in California.

That falls well short of your claimed “right to drug use.”

Why so? Explain please.

Simple: only someone with a doctor's recommendation can get medical marijuana.

So it's your contention that nobody who has ever sought a medical recommendation for marijuana has failed to obtain one? Can you provide any reason for anyone to believe this?

Red herring - nobody here has said one should act contrary to court rulings.

Your decision was erroneous - nobody here has said one should act contrary to court rulings.

Since I've refuted every argument you've clearly stated, and exposed your steadfast coyness about those you haven't, I suspect not.

the fact that alcohol is often used to impair judgment and ability leaves you with a very thin reed on which to hang your claimed distinction from other drugs - particularly when one notes that impairment was the whole purpose of alcohol use when that mind-altering drug was illegal.

Not so, not so. Wine at meals and celebrations has been a tradition long before there was a U.S. or Prohibition.

Getting drunk dates back as far - your reed remains thin.

Did you think those people suddenly headed to a speakeasy to get drunk just because of Prohibition?

No, I know they were acting on the age-old tradition of getting drunk - your reed remains thin.
