Canada 'sells US high-grade pot'

Interesting. You call a remark inane and I ask if you have other figures. Your response? Non-responsive.

[Hodar]

You're obviously speaking as a disinterested observer -

Yeah, that's partially true. I have no intention of using drugs, without regard to the legal availability. If some idiot wants to poisen and eventually kill himself with drugs; I don't really care. Free will, and all that.

However, when this idiot's "poison of choice" becomes so expensive (due to the war on drugs) that he feels he has to rob/kill me in order to finance his suicidal tendencies; I am no longer disinterested.

It's entirely responsive. I'd like to know what a marijuana ER case looks like. Another posted already pointed out that the protocol is a Big Grab of chips and a large Vanilla Coke.

Marijuana is less toxic than what you ate for lunch, and it is non-addictive. Any medical professional caught "treating" marijuana use as a medical issue ought to lose their license as much as someone treating baldness with quack cures.

You're only a citizen and taxpayer - you can be replaced.

Insane policies, however, are sacred - not to be tampered with!

[cinFLA]

Non-responsive. I asked if you had other figures. If you don't, a simple no will suffice.

Do you propose providing drugs to them free of charge?

[BossLady]

"high-potency marijuana"

Then, would this be considered 'pharmaceutical grade' weed? ;)

(I suppose not since the FDA would have to approve it. LOL!)

Mr Walters added: "Canada is exporting to us the crack of marijuana and it is a dangerous problem."

Let's start with your facts:

What does a marijuana ER case look like?

Can you get a reputable doctor to say "I treat marijuana overdose?"

You are a laughingstock. There is no such thing as a marijuana overdose. That's why I'm asking for YOUR numbers. They are inherently fraudulent, and the people compiling them are inherently liars - as if they were touting ER vists for baldness as a crisis. What are their numbers, and who are they?

[cinFLA]

Non-responsive. A simple no will suffice if you have no other numbers.

[Hodar]

Do you propose providing drugs to them free of charge?

No, absolutely not. I wouldn't propose giving shots of whiskey or tequilla away free of charge either. However, if drugs were treated like alcohol; I wouldn't have a problem with that. DUI should be 10x harsher, IMHO. Whether you are driving under the influence of 8 beers, 4 joints, 2 lines of cocaine; in any case you are a hazard to those on the road, and should pay the penalty for doing so.

Prohibition has never, ever worked. All it does is provide money to the underworld, finance development of more contraband, refine and condence the active ingredient of the contraband; and make the contraband more 'desireable'.

Think of it like beer in High School. If you were 16 and you had a beer; that was fun! You were doing something you weren't supposed to be doing, and it was exciting. But when you turn 21; having that same beer is now commonplace. The excitement is gone.

Since I have posted no numbers (obvious since you are asking for my numbers) how can you claim thay are fraudulent?

[headsonpikes]

...how can you claim they are fraudulent?,

Any and all statements, numerical or otherwise, issued by you, are inherently fraudulent.

I believe that is the sense of the assembly.

I remember one of my most exciting nights - the night I turned 21! You lose.

...how can you claim thay are fraudulent?

Because the corrrect number for marijuana "overdose" is zero, just like life-threatening baldness cases.

So, please, let's have the horror stories of how tragic teenaged are strapped to gurneys, writhing in agony because the 7-11 didn't have Double Stuff Oreos. I want to see the concerned pronouncements from ER physicians about how the "crack of marijuana" is such a scourge.

If a doctor tried to treat you for sardine addiction, would you call him a quack? How many quacks are being paid by the government to "treat" marijuana addiction?

[Hodar]

I'll field this one.

The Drug Awareness Warning Network Annual Report, published by the US federal government contains a statistical compilation of all drug deaths which occur in the United States. According to this report, there has never been a death recorded from the use of marijuana by natural causes. Unlike opiates, barbiturates or amphetamines, there seems to be little risk from the use of large amounts of marijuana. When a person smokes too much they feel very tired and lie down. When people swallow large amounts of hashish, occasionally they get sick to their stomach.

Let's have some intellectual honesty now. Can you HONESTLY say that having a beer today, is as exciting as sneaking a beer when you were underage?

[cinFLA]

Non-responsive. Since the stated data does not mention 'over-does' you use of that term is non-responsive.

Let's have some intellectual honesty now. Can you HONESTLY say that having sex with your wife now is as exciting as it was with your first time when y ou were underage?
