Geesh...You are so wedded to the leftist propaganda that pot is completely harmless Again with this lie. Shame on you.

Here's the one thing you never deny or argue with: The LEFT is ALWAYS pro-marijuana. You never argue with that. The left is FOR destruction of the American family and culture...actually Judeo-Christian values. You never argue with that. The LEFT encourages marijuana smoking, whether legal or not, exactly BECAUSE it contributes to the downfall of the judeo-christian culture. That's what you're supporting and contributing to.

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.

"Reaction" does not imply toxic; the chemicals in marijuana affect the brain by binding to neuroreceptors - the same ones that the brain's own endocannabinoids bind to.

Marijuana Toxicity: An Increasing Clinical Challenge

It appears that the medical meaning of toxicity - unlike the common definitions you've been quoting - includes the effects of marijuana. BTW, thanks for this good quote from your source: "the acute toxicity of marijuana is relatively benign in the average adult".

Why would I argue with those statements? I agree with them and have never said nor implied anything to the contrary.

The LEFT encourages marijuana smoking, whether legal or not, exactly BECAUSE it contributes to the downfall of the judeo-christian culture. That's what you're supporting and contributing to.

I have never encouraged marijuana use - nor alcohol, nor tobacco. As I noted earlier in this thread:

"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."

You're welcome. However you took the quote out of context and did not include the rest of the sentence with it. Here is the entire paragraph:

Although the acute toxicity of marijuana is relatively benign in the average adult, such is not the case for children. A 250 to 1000 mg ingestion of hashish can result in unresponsiveness in one half hour. Pediatric apnea, cyanosis and bradycardia have been reported in children who have had exposure to the drug.

So of course making pot legal makes it more socially acceptable. Which makes it more acceptable for kids to smoke.

Oh, and then we have those idiots running around saying that smoking pot is less harmful than drinking water. Or saying that smoking pot is like taking medicine. And this of course makes kids less likely to reject it.

Yup. The left certainly knows what it's doing when it comes to destroying families. You're aligned with some very nasty people.

Unproven - tobacco remains legal yet has been increasingly unaccepted.

Nonsense - society's acceptance most certainly distinguishes between adults and children, in all sorts of matters.

I'm aligned with our nation's Founders:

"all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men".

Every time you spout leftist propaganda about marijuana you are doing *exactly* that.
