Quite the opposite. I made not the first assumption, I made an educated guess based on what I know about the brain and marijuana and how it affects people. To say that pot destroyed (or nearly destroyed) his body and mind is propaganda straight out of Reefer Madness. I’ll also point out that it was you, not me, who brought him up. I wasn’t insulting him or you or anybody else. I was replying to a situation that you yourself introduced.
So, criminalize alcohol?
Marijuana is classified by the Drug Enforcement Agency as a Schedule 1 substance -- the same category as heroin, LSD and Ecstasy.
In my view, if marijuana is in the same category as heroin, LSD and Ecstasy, then it should be and stay illegal and a crime to own it.
But you draw your own conclusions. I won't be drawn into a contest with you about the legalities of alcohol consumption versus marijuana abuse.
