Oh Goodie. Our Number One Retread Troll Newbie is Back with his Daily Pro-Dope Message.
I concur and I don’t use the stuff.
This troll is so predictable... I’m in before he posts examples of some non pro-dope replies of his. And in before he answers a question with a question.
Lots of qualifiers and language in there to “soften” the impact of the pro-dopers
Then there’s this:
“only about nine percent of users developed dependency to the drug”
Gee, ONLY nine percent? Well that certainly makes it worth it. Even ONLY one percent is enough to avoid this crap. Stay away from it.
Eh. I’m a down the line conservative on pretty much every issue and I personally don’t see why marijuana is illegal. I have seen no evidence that it is worse than drinking or that it causes mass harm like heroin or cocaine. If it came to a vote in my state, I’d vote to legalize it.
If you're claiming I post a thread about 'dope' every day (or anywhere near that often) you're simply wrong: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:conservingfreedom/index?tab=articles.
And I'm not "pro-dope" - I'll tell anyone who asks that (absent medical need) they're better off staying away from it, along with alcohol and tobacco. What I am is pro-ending-the-harms-of-pot-criminalization, most notably the enrichment of criminals.
Please share with us just how it is that others should decide for us what toxins we decide to ingest?
And while you are at it - please explain how if we are too stupid to make decisions for ourselves, how is it we are capable of making decisions for others?
I see.... so smoking dope is beneficial?...
AND Barry Obama is just a community organizer..
I won’t call you a troll, but you are immensely predictable on these threads as well.
It’s what makes pot threads on FR such good sport.
No one reads the articles unless it supports the position one already has, so it’s all about preaching to the choir and ad hominems.
Nice Straw Man, pal.
Suppose YOU tell us why you think its OK for children to have unlimited access to free pot.
Gee, ONLY nine percent? Well that certainly makes it worth it. Even ONLY one percent is enough to avoid this crap. Stay away from it.
I agree - along with alcohol and tobacco, for which "dependence was found among 14 and 24 percent of study participants."
I'm more anti-pot than pro-pot, but let's wait five years and see what happens in Colorado and Washington. More states will probably follow. I never believed pot was totally harmless like the enthusiasts claimed, but it's just too early to make any hard and fast pronouncements about the effects on the general population.
Take the lib position on dope if you like, But this is more than that. The very idea a retread troll is allowed to agitate is beyond me.
Are you in favor of removing all restrictions concerning all drugs? Nothing illegal and no prescriptions required? Remove all FDA certifications?
See post 4.
Gotcha.
Now. About your answering a question with a question. Go right ahead here....
I see.... so smoking dope is beneficial?...
<><><><
Do you favor creating laws that make all things that are not beneficial illegal?
Is that really your threshold for making things illegal, or is that reserved for MJ?
Suppose YOU tell us why you think its OK for children to have unlimited access to free pot.
Speaking of straw men, nobody said anything about "free pot."
Speaking of children, they report that they can get pot (which is illegal for all, except in a few states) more easily than beer or cigarettes (which are legal for adults). It appears that the most effective way to reduce access to marijuana by young people is harnessing the power of the market by legalizing for adults, so sellers have the potential loss of their legal adult market to discourage them from selling to minors.
The problem with all of these ‘studies’ is that they always mix apples and oranges, with an occasional watermelon thrown in.
Take a few unadulterated marijuana seeds, toss them into the ground, and come back in a few months. Roll those leaves up and smoke them. Yes people have being doing so for over a thousand years, with relatively minor if any negative results.
But do you think that is what is sold on the street? Hell no. Kids would refer to it as stink weed. Your throat would get sore before you could smoke enough of it to REALLY get high.
No, what is sold on the street is specially raised, processed, and doctored with who knows what to dramatically increase the potency. What are the possible harmful effects? Who the heck could know that, since nobody knows what’s been done to it in the first place!
Sorry, but it is EXACTLY like every other drug sold on the street - a total unknown. And people use it at their own risk.
