The thinking behind that was so callous that I believe it belonged to a teenager barely into puberty. Am I wrong?

Libertarians are disruptive to a true conservative view. They somehow want to re-define anarchy and vice as a staple of conservatism (in the name of a fabricated view of the constitution of course).

Indeed, that mindset would also have to approve of fraud, just so long as it is committed against the gullible, or force, just so long as it is the strong oppressing the weak.

For the benefit of newbies and lurkers, the statist-fascist socialist cultists favor the WOD's, -- while real conservatives repudiate the constitutional violations this 'war' requires.

But marijuana for sure is.

I bet every single person tried alcohol at least once before trying weed.

"I think that all this study could really, seriously determine is that:
a person with a predilection for inhaling, ingesting or injecting intoxicating substances is willing to try what is available in the way of stronger substances ...

That and it also shows that:
Marijuana Is Gateway to Hard Drugs in particular.

The Libertarian mantra has been CRUSHED.

GAME, SET, MATCH..., I do expect states to take new looks at recently passed marijuana laws based on this. Only someone involved in drugs will still pursue the issue of legalization.
Being a gateway drug, it DOES harm others.

Start a alcohol thread perhaps. Could be if your case is proven it could be added to pot as a gateway drug which harms others.

This will show the hypocrites libertarians all are as they continue to defend this as their no-harm mantra has been blown out of the water.

This couldn't be true! What about all the fanatics spamming FR claiming that dope is harmless?

Those were folks doing drugs saying dopes were harmless. You misread ALL their threads. LOL

You don't really think that they're gonna let themselves be bothered by facts, do you?

Perhaps so, Guy, but not across the board. I believe the majority of marijuana users are content with the current compromise arrangement of keeping it out of public sight, and thereby making it de facto legal.

You stacked that one a mile high Tpaine.
Real Conservatives may debate the meaning of the Constitution, but it is evil to advocate illegal drugs use for or by anyone.

Only extreem left wing/wind Libertarians and DU Disrupters lurking at FR might be shaking their heads with what you say.

Don't be a dope. It should NOT be legal. Evidently you think all drugs should be legal so as many young people as possible will get hooked and won't re-produce. I'm trying to think of anything more inhumane, but I'm having trouble coming up with anything. Perhaps if I was in a pot-induced stupor it would all make sense.

That's true, but the ones here at FR are really pushing it. The pro-drug activists here might be in fact working for cartels/suppliers or could be Democrats trying to be disruptors here at FR. That to is possible.

Don't know about all other states, but in CA, it is only a ticket.
