If its only proximate harm is to the user, it should not be banned in any form.
[polymuser:] And no employer should be banned from banning potheads. Nor should insurers be banned from raising rates or denying coverage.
Of course.
And on and on...
Like what?
Stupid and cannabis belong together. I’ve listened to enough stoners’ waxing eloquent monologues in their ‘enhanced state’ to well know its mental effects. And their poor, kind audiences listen tolerantly, all the while thinking “God, please make it stop. The stupid, it burns!” Same for drunks.
Flame away, stoners ;-)
Pretty weak troll attempt.
I give it a 2.
No trolling, just some blunt reality.
Which is why their legal status should be comparable: regulated but not banned.
Shame you didn’t post any lol!
Troll elsewhere please. I’m not interested in playing in your gutter.
Revenge for the Opium Dens.
Except it's NOT in its natural form. It's been modified and cultivated to give a high that God never intended humans to have. God created it toxic to deter it's consumption. Yet we're stupid enough to eat and smoke toxic things.
Cultivation is "unnatural"? So you never, say, eat an ear of corn larger than your thumb?
God created it toxic
Rubbish - not only is there no well documented case of fatal THC overdose in a human, they can't even kill lab animals larger than rats with an oral dose however large.
Try to keep up. The person I was responding to said that pot is okay in it's "natural" form. That's the context of my comment.

"Toxic" doesn't always mean "Deadly" to every species that consumes it. It's toxic to humans in that it affects us negatively. It messes up our brain function. To most animals this is enough to prevent them from eating it on a regular basis. I'm sure there are some animals to which it's not toxic at all and they can consume it.

Try to keep up with your own blather (difficult, I know). You explicitly posited "cultivated" as contradicting "natural" - when in fact almost all the produce we eat has been cultivated. Do you claim that the produce we eat is NOT in its natural form?

By your laughably loose daffynition, bacon double cheeseburgers are "toxic". But keep the hysterical rhetoric coming - I could use the laughs.
God created it toxic
So all plants should be banned that are harmful when ingested?
Just like a good leftist you ignore reality:
toxic
ADJECTIVE
1 Poisonous. ‘the dumping of toxic waste’ ‘alcohol is toxic to the ovaries’
1.1 Relating to or caused by poison. ‘toxic hazards’ ‘toxic liver injury’
1.2 Very bad, unpleasant, or harmful. ‘a toxic relationship’
So my "daffynition" is THE definition. Marijuana is TOXIC if ingested or smoked which is WHY our body reacts with abnormal mental and physical functions.
Now just because you (and other leftists) ENJOY the toxic effects doesn't mean that it's not toxic. It just means that you don't learn very well.
Far out, Catherwood.
Nah, just the plants that leftists use to destroy our culture and our country. If leftist decide that it's good idea to put poisonous plants in food and call it "healthy" then yes, we should ban that plant.

It's the tertiary definition - and includes a "very" qualifier that you omitted above and have yet to show applies to marijuana. It remains hysterical rhetoric.

There is no good reason to think that legal marijuana will destroy our culture and our country, when the more harmful legal drug alcohol has failed to do so.
And leftist don't use marijuana on people - people use it on themselves, or not, as they choose. It's called liberty - and taking it away from adults is what will destroy our culture and our country founded on the principle of liberty.
Shift the goalpost much?? Dude, face it you were wrong.
I said pot was toxic. You responded and said I was wrong and provided as "proof" the standard leftist propaganda that pot wasn't toxic because "nobody ever died from marijuana" . I showed you the dictionary definition of toxic.
It's abundantly clear that pot IS toxic. It is NOT compatible with the human body. It causes physical and mental changes. It IS toxic.
It's the tertiary definition - and includes a "very" qualifier that you omitted above and have yet to show applies to marijuana. It remains hysterical rhetoric.
Oh. So it's toxic. But not very toxic.
Geesh...You are so wedded to the leftist propaganda that pot is completely harmless and actually beneficial that you apparently can't comprehend the written word when it comes to anything dealing with marijuana.
1.1 Relating to or caused by poison. ‘toxic hazards’ ‘toxic liver injury’ 1.2 Very bad, unpleasant, or harmful. ‘a toxic relationship’
In 1.2 the "very" is only bad. And believe me even if it's very unpleasant it is very unpleasant to many people. And it IS very harmful to people. It causes mental and psychological issues that stay with a person for years, decades or a lifetime.
One more thing that will hopefully cut through your propaganda filled brain:
Definition of intoxication
1 : an abnormal state that is essentially a poisoning carbon monoxide intoxication
2 a : the condition of having physical or mental control markedly diminished by the effects of alcohol or drugs drank to the point of intoxication cocaine intoxication
b : a strong excitement or elation- The mere knowledge that they are on an island, a little world entirely surrounded by the sea, fills them with an indescribable intoxication … —Christine Osborne
When you smoke or ingest marijuana you get "intoxicated". Which means your body is literally reacting to the substance as a poison and the result is a reaction to the poison. You are intoxicated.
You are WRONG on this. I would respect you if you could just admit...or even say I'm technically right. But you can't admit you're wrong about ANY aspect of marijuana because you've been duped by the left on this issue.
By your laughably loose daffynition, bacon double cheeseburgers are "toxic".

No, according to the definition YOU posted, if "very" doesn't apply it's not toxic.
Geesh...You are so wedded to the leftist propaganda that pot is completely harmless
Again with this lie. Shame on you.
it IS very harmful to people. It causes mental and psychological issues that stay with a person for years, decades or a lifetime.
That is the exception not the norm; you might as well say peanuts are "toxic" because a few people have very bad reactions to them.
When you smoke or ingest marijuana you get "intoxicated".
Of course - but etymological connections notwithstanding, your dictionary does NOT say that any substance that has intoxicating effects is a toxic substance.
It's completely ridiculous that you won't admit that marijuana is toxic. OF COURSE it is. That's where the high comes from...a reaction to a drug. IT messes up your brain and causes confused and irrational thought and behavior. JUST because you like it doesn't mean it's not so.
