Why does it take you two posts every time, why can’t you usually answer or post to me with a single post?

That's a pathetic attempt to misdirect from the substantive arguments you're losing ... and also wrong: see the post you replied to, and also posts 94, 80, 72, and 65.

Actually it was a real question,

No it wasn't, as witness your not replying to any other of my posts - but I answered it anyway.

also I doubt that the rest of us need you pinging us to each other’s posts and asking questions in our behalf, like you did in post 95.

TigersEye, you have a problem with my asking questions in your behalf, like I did in post 95?

I suspect the "medical" needs for MJ are bogus 99% of the time.

So the 1% can go suck eggs?

Bad cases make bad law.

So that's a "yes." Duly noted.

I'll let the 1% with genuine medical needs know they should just "lighten up."

You ever think that you just aren’t very interesting, and that you getting all worked up and obsessive, and kind of freaky and frothing, only makes it worse.

People just like to smoke it and get high more than they like feeling normal. If they don’t interfere with me, I don’t care. But if they do interfere with me, there’s a problem.

Your pathetic evasions are interesting examples of the intellectual and moral poverty of the Drug Warrior position.

I have seen much more of the drug world than the typical freeper.

Based on the legitimate responses to your own comments, you're losing this argument in a big way.

There is no way to create an identical version of THC produced by the plant in a lab.

Read Dr. Alex Shulgin’s research on the inadequacy of synthetic THC.

The thousands of compounds found in cannabis are all cannabinoids and are closely related to the cannabinoids naturally found in the human body. These endocannabinoids are involved in the regulation of practically every body function. Cannabis has more human symbiotic compounds and natural medical potential than any other plant.

There is also no need to inhale smoke. One can vaporize the plant into medicinal vapor with a device barely larger than a lighter. One can also process the plant into pills using only standard kitchen utensils. It costs almost nothing to grow the plant and make your own smoke-free medicine. The drug companies would never allow it.

There is nothing new about this information.

In fact, it is the most probable reason for the “War on Drugs.”

Letting the many effective cancer cures become mainstream would bankrupt the pharmaceutical poison manufacturers.

Losing what argument, legalized drugs, homosexual marriage, open borders, pornography, prostitution, polygamy, abortion?

Getting on a thread for a while to challenge some of the liberals among conservatives, isn’t really a win or lose situation, it is merely wasting a little time on a thread until the fanaticism totally takes over among the drug crowd.

For conservatives to not resist the left, is to merely roll over.

Oh, yeah.

homosexual marriage, open borders, pornography, prostitution, polygamy

None of those have been argued on this thread. Are you losing your grip on reality?

The War on Drugs has been one of the biggest debacles in our nation’s history. It has been tremendously costly, has led to us having the world’s largest prison population, and has had spill over violence effects in other places all while failing to actually cure drug abuse. The fact that some so-called small government conservatives can continue to support it is beyond me.=

>> “If this was a legit actual proven medical use there is no need for pothead stores with a pretext. Doctors would perscribe it and it would be purchased at the pharmacy.” <<

.
Even you can’t possibly be that naive.

Pot is illegal precisely because it is such an effective healer, and would deny the big boys trillions of dollars a year.
