What lies are you referring to? Are you claiming that all medical researchers are liars?
The majority of Florida voters who voted for medical marijuana most likely were informed citizens...
Thanks for confirming what I have said about the efforts of NORML. And also for confirming my observation that stoners are in a complete state of denial about the dangers of marijuana use. It's pretty much a given for any substance abuse... the abusers always believe there is no harm from their addictions...
We probably see eye to eye on that. Politics is evil and there just isn’t anything for Christians to win by playing the game.
Thanks for [...] confirming my observation that stoners are in a complete state of denial about the dangers of marijuana use.
What a screaming non sequitir.
“Are you claiming that all medical researchers are liars?”
No, just prohibitionists.
“Thanks for confirming what I have said about the efforts of NORML.”
Another fallacy. Keep ‘em coming.
“And also for confirming my observation that stoners are in a complete state of denial about the dangers of marijuana use.”
Another logical fallacy. Being a medical marijuana patient does not = being a stoner anymore than drinking a beer after dinner = being an alcoholic.
“They say the government has no business trying to regulate pot.”
False. The major theme of the successful ballot intiatives was “regulate like alcohol”.
That's a pity, cause weed is wack, yo.
I never saw tha attraction and I never will.
the. Autocorrect?
That’s right.
Well said, Sargon.
Re: “Blacks are nearly four times likelier to be arrested for pot possession than whites...”
Two important reasons for that.
First, Blacks are much more likely to be dealing marijuana than white guys.
Second, almost nobody gets arrested for possession of user amounts, unless they are on probation, or possess it in jail, or unless another more serious crime has also been committed.
Also, possession of marijuana is the number one plea down when prosecutors decide to drop other more serious charges.
Since Blacks break the law much more often than whites, Blacks accept a lot more plea deals.
I grew up in the hotel business in south Florida. Forty years ago, on the beach, I saw cops on multiple occasions make people empty small bags of reefer on the street or flush it down the toilet in hotel rooms. I never saw anybody get arrested for user amounts, and I never knew anybody who got arrested for user amounts.
No. In truth, you’re an idiot.
The reason you don’t debate, is because you can’t support your point without lobbing false and absurd accusations.
Not everyone who opposes having the nanny state regulate their lives is a stoner, but every person who does advocate for the government regulating all facets of OTHER PEOPLES BEHAVIOR is a short sighted non-thinker.
You failed to notice that my original post to this thread didn’t have anything to do with supporting legalized pot. It simply opposes the type of thinking that demands government regulations to solve every problem people face.
Undeterred by this simple fact, you decide to pop up like some demented gopher from your hole and tell *me* what I think; then run away like a coward with a flippant “I don’t debate stoners”...
It would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.
There’s a saying about trying to use reason and logic to argue with a stupid person:
“Never play chess with a pigeon.
The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over.
Then shits all over the board.
Then struts around like it won.”
So you are in favor of legalized heroin. Got it.
Strut, pigeon.
You can’t clarify your position so you call me names. Exactly how I said it would happen
Druggies always say the government has no business controlling drugs but then then they call me names when I ask if heroin should be legal.
"call me names when I ask if heroin should be legal."You didn't ask any such thing, you liar.
Should heroin be legal?
Yes, for doctor supervised use in opioid replacement therapy (to help people recover from prescription drug dependencies), or in end-stage cancer treatment, but not in most other situations...
What about OxyContin? Should it be illegal? Or should only the BEHAVIOR of abusing the drug be criminalized?
How about sticking a Q-tip into your ear canal? That shit is dangerous. It even says so right on the box.
Should Q-tips be illegal?
Or should we simply pass a law against putting them in your ear canal?
Or are you smart enough to not self-harm?
