The pro pot movement never advocates moderation.

Wrong as usual. "Use of cannabis, to the extent that it impairs health, personal development or achievement, is abuse, to be resisted by responsible cannabis users." - http://norml.org/marijuana/personal/item/principles-of-responsible-use

Thank you for this advocacy page that buries moderation inside of a talking point - off of the main page (and face it, for legal purposes).

However, you misunderstand my point: The Pro-Pot MOVEMENT sd s whole ignores moderation and rejects applying social stigma for excessive use.

It advocates for using marijuana in the morning, at lunch, in the afternoon, with dinner, and at bed. That is not moderation. (I am sure that you read this article.)

However, I see that - as of this morning - you have begun to discuss “moderation of use” in one of your own posts.

It is possible that adding the point of moderation of use to your argument is because you see that I have a legitimate point. Which I do.

If the pro-pot movement wants acceptance, it has to act like a mature player. It has to argue that it’s introduction into society will have less of a negative impact than its opponents declare. A key to doing this is openly rejecting the “wake-and-bake, stay high all day” mentality that is common among users.

I respect your passion in your advocacy of recreational marijuana use, but without appropriate messaging the Movement will remain a “radical addicts cause.”
