No ping when slurring me?

No slur. You have used the word "Liar" many a time. Usually just before quitting time.

[tpaine]

Prove the Lincoln 'quote' is fake, you clown.
It is simply unattributable.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Thereby the gateway theory is enhanced.

You haven't answered my question about what your version of the Gateway theory is; you know, the one you accuse us all of misunderstanding.

I asked sincerely, and would appreciate an answer.

[cinFLA]

Strictly speaking, the study shows only that there is no gateway effect from marijuana to hard drugs among those who have had run-ins with the law.

The study did NOT show what you claim above! In fact it absolutely did NOT deny a gateway theory.

[presidio9]

You have responded to rebuttals merely by repeating your claims; that's not logic.

Incorrect. I have correctly pointed out that when pot is legal, more kids will have access to pot. You have been unable to come up with an intelligent couter to this easily laid out point.

[MrLeRoy]

So you agree with CASA that alcohol and tobacco are gateway drugs?

So you agree with CASA that marijuana is a gateway drug?

No, I think there are no gateway drugs.

Not to you. All drugs are cool.

Another lie about me. My position is that no drugs---including the deadly addictive drugs tobacco and alcohol---are "cool."

Now answer my question.

Well?

[MrLeRoy]

You have used the word "Liar" many a time.

Only when lies have been posted---contrary to your insinuation.

[cinFLA]

Prove the Lincoln 'quote' is fake, you clown. It is simply unattributable.

So you go around posting quotes that are "unattibutable". Are others free to do that also?

[presidio9]

The whole lot of them are so confused and disorganized. Just what I have come to expect from people who frequently use drugs. Except for LeRoy. He is downright scary. The idea that people like him exist is disturbing.

The word prohibition would not have been used by AL in this context.

[MrLeRoy]

I have correctly pointed out that when pot is legal, more kids will have access to pot.

Yes, you have repeatedly claimed this. Where's the evidence?

[MrLeRoy]

it absolutely did NOT deny a gateway theory.

Another lie. "No significant impact of soft drug use on the risk of later involvement with crack and heroin."

[presidio9]

Too late, he already did. Oh I understand him all right. He wants the drug addicts to kill themselves because what they do has no effect on his life in that one room cabin in Montanna.

[cinFLA]

Except for LeRoy. He is downright scary. The idea that people like him exist is disturbing.

But he is not the worst. He just want all drugs legalized and is getting paid to spam the board.

[presidio9]

Read this thread and get back to me. It's all there.

Name-calling is another liberal debating tactic. So let's see, thusfar you've used emotion over logic, namecalled, and my personal favorite, the ol' "for the children" line. I feel like I'm on a gun thread on DU.

[presidio9]

LOL. Can you provide "evidence" for your claim?

[MrLeRoy]

Read this thread and get back to me.

I have. You have responded to rebuttals merely by repeating your claims.

[jmc813]

LOL. Can you provide "evidence" for your claim?

It's George Soros who pays us. Everyone knows that. Duh.

[presidio9]

Name-calling is another liberal debating tactic.

Help me out: I see no name-calling in the quote you provided. Nevertheless: People who think drugs should be legal have not thought their argument through and rightly deserve to be called children.
