Full Title: Strong cannabis causes one in four cases of psychosis: Users three times more likely to have an episode than those who have never tried it ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª As many as a quarter of new cases of psychotic mental illness can be blamed on super-strength strains of cannabis, scientists will warn this week. The potent form of the drug – known as ‘skunk’ – is so powerful that users are three times more likely to have a psychotic episode than those who have never tried it.

Once again, I have to quote Leon Trotsky on this:
"You might not be interested in War, but War is certainly interested in you."
The foot of a legal mind-altering substance is already in the door - no help for me there. And if legalizing marijuana has the practical benefits I say it will - taking a big bite out of criminal profits, and increasing the comparative disincentive to move from using marijuana to hard drugs - then the practical argument for legalizing other drugs will have been weakened not strengthened. (And if legalizing marijuana doesn't have those benefits, the entire legalization idea will be dead in the water.)
Your accusing me of incrementalism may sound plausible - if you don't actually think about it.
That's been my position all along.
Quote him all you want. Doesn’t change the fact that you’re basically just an intellectual suicide bomber, out to destroy a debate because you can’t control it, and willing to blow yourself up in the process.
That's OK - only in a formal sense am I actually addressing you.
ø is proof positive of the debilitating effects marijuana can have on the development of the teenage mind.
That’s the drugs and liberalism speaking again, you are claiming that America and the founding fathers were pot heads.
They weren’t.
One was put on this Earth by the Good Lord.
The other thing is unknown chemicals cooked up in a lab and then sprinkled over plant material.
Please do not conflate the 2.
I both smoked and vaporized it.
Guess what? I did not have a psychotoic break. I did not go crazy.
Instead, I did laundry and a lot of yard work. I also played with my kittens, and took the dogs out to a field to run around.
Oh, and I made a really good pot of Creamy Black Bean Soup.
btw...that was late night Iphone posting
I do NOT recommend LSD...emphatically do not advise taking it for most folks why take a chance
my typing error..a big one
sorry
Bean soup was made illegal because of Big Soup like Campbell’s. They wanted to remove the competition.
Oh wait, that was Dow.
Heh. At least I was smart enough not to put myself in a position where my ass is hanging out, hoping no one decides to take a big bite.
Your whole point of contention is whether or not people who left their child in the home of DRUG DEALERS were themselves drug dealers.
More precisely, my point is whether you would have much of a defense in a defamation suit against the accusation you made =>
The child was just in an unfortunate situation brought on by being born to dope smoking/dealing parents.
When you make charges like that in a public forum, you better have good evidence that it is factual.
Now that's funny right there.
Like I said, screw you.
"The carnage of marijuana"?
LOL, and what carnage would that be?
You can post all the pictures you want - after all, kicking over the table is what children do, and you seem to be obsessed with childish thinking.
Nevertheless, while you're spewing your temper-tantrum, the world will go on as it always has, with people comparing relative harms. And every time they do, they will see that alcohol is literally thousands of times more dangerous than marijuana. They will also see that the Constitution is a doctrine of negative rights, and so permission is not needed for anything not addressed as a role of limited government. And finally, they will see that by the standards of harm, which is the ONLY standard legally allowable here, marijuana is untouchable, and that alcohol acceptance provides the perfect standard for allowable harm.
Like I said, you have no moral position and no logical position and no medical position. And therefore, you also have no legal position. But you scream real good, so I guess that's something. What something, I couldn't say. But something.
LOL, and what carnage would that be?
The carnage wreaked on the Doritos supply?
