[MrLeRoy]

What you put into your body does not just affect you.

How does it affect others, and how are those effects any of government's business?

[Hacksaw]

The whole point is that drug advocates like MrLeRoy do not understand addiction, or he is in denial. I would hate for my pre teen nephews or nieces to read his posts.

For all the fans of the 17 year old drug abuser Jedi Girl, how will you feel if you read her name in the obitiary (sp) column? Would you even give it a second thought?

[Hacksaw]

It affects families, loved ones, and the people they kill.

[vin-one]

What you put into your body does not just affect you.

How about alcohol, much more damaging than MJ.
but big brother allows that.
get the gov't out of my personal life.

[MrLeRoy]

The whole point is that drug advocates like MrLeRoy

I am not a "drug advocate"---I am a freedom advocate.

do not understand addiction, or he is in denial.

What have I written that reveals misunderstanding of addiction?

[MrLeRoy]

do not understand addiction

Do YOU understand that tobacco is the most addictive drug around---and that it and alcohol are much more addictive than marijuana?

[MrLeRoy]

It affects families, loved ones, and the people they kill.

You didn't answer the second question: how are those effects any of government's business?

[headsonpikes]

"...afterall it gave us Al capone, the Kennedys, and the Mafia."

Did you ever think that that, in fact, does explain the popularity of the WOD.

Can't argue with success; that's the American Way, right?

Someday there will be trials of the WOD-pursuing b*stards...if they're lucky.

[HELLRAISER II]

WRONG. Anything he or she does on their own time, in their own house with their own damn money doesn't effect you or anyone else.

[Hacksaw]

We both know that alcohol has a much greater social history that weed does - despite the stories of the pro Drug Warriors. As I have said before, Jesus passed around wine before his execution - not a joint.

Even so, there are United States counties who still ban alcohol. If the majority supports it, okay.

[vin-one]

It affects families, loved ones, and the people they kill.

So big brother should take over and tell us how to live our lives.
Just substitute alcohol, tobacco, or anyother of a number of things
for MJ, and what do you get,
Prohibition that benefits,the dealers,
gov't gets bigger, and you pay higher taxes and get more gov't interference with your life.
not exactly what I thought my America stood for.
I thought I was free, free as I what to be as long as the gov't says it is OK.

[Hacksaw]

Do YOU understand that tobacco is the most addictive drug around---and that it and alcohol are much more addictive than marijuana?

The process to addiction to alcohol or tobacco takes much longer that heroin or weed.

[HELLRAISER II]

It's not a Cocaine or heorin addiction H.S. Hell Alcohol & Nicotine are documented to be more addictive than pot, don't believe me read a few medical journals.

[MrLeRoy]

We both know that alcohol has a much greater social history that weed does

So what?

Even so, there are United States counties who still ban alcohol. If the majority supports it, okay.

Do you support allowing counties to legalize pot?

[MrLeRoy]

The process to addiction to alcohol or tobacco takes much longer that heroin or weed.

Provide evidence for your claim.

[Hacksaw]

I am not a "drug advocate"---I am a freedom advocate.

You are a drug advocate. You attempt to minimize the affects of addiction such as heroin while claiming that tobacco and alcohol are the only dangerous drugs. You have no idea what you are talking about.

[vin-one]

Jesus passed around wine before his execution - not a joint.

Hack, you see I don't see much of a difference between the two,
those who say, that you don't have to get drunk when you drink,
don't understand that you don't have to get high when smoking weed.

all in all the biggest difference between MJ, and booze is that you don't feel as bad the next day when tying one on with MJ, as you would with booze.

[HELLRAISER II]

Document 1 death associated with Pot & then look at how many DUI of Alcohol deaths their are, the difference will set you straight on the real drug associated with multiple deaths.

[MrLeRoy]

You attempt to minimize the affects of addiction such as heroin

Provide evidence that I have done so.

while claiming that tobacco and alcohol are the only dangerous drugs.

Provide evidence that I have made this claim.

[Hacksaw]

So what?

So what? You discard history.

Do you support allowing counties to legalize pot?

Yes.
