By that 'logic,' no change should ever be made - including, for just one example, the dismantling of the welfare state. You've called an end to the conservative movement for the sake of imprisoning users of disapproved plant matter ... good choice.

Nope, never called for such a thing.
You have shown that pro-pot legalization advocates are narrow in their thinking regarding the impact of legalizing another drug. At least drug companies list all possible risks to people who may take their drug while pro-pot legalization advocates focus only on the positive.

Sure you did - you told us that given that humans are fallible, it's naive to not expect the worst from the dismantling of the welfare state or from any other change to the liberal status quo.

Your "possible risk" is the illogical fear that many people responsible enough to avoid pot when it's illegal will suddenly become irresponsible enough to not only use pot but render themselves unemployable (whether through employer testing or stupefaction) when it's legal.
now you are argueing like a leftist by making up something I did not say.
Now back to reality, if pro-pot legalization advocates want to convince skeptics like me to join here’s how- tie legalization to drug testing for welfare recepiants, ban welfare recipiants who smoke weed and other drugs from obtaining welfare and finally acknowledge there will be neagtive impact to society by legalizing pot because not every pot user is responsible.

I didn't "make it up" - I pointed out the logical consequence of what you did say: "Given that humans are fallible, its naive to not expect the worst." If you don't like the conclusion, feel free to withdraw your premise.

I'm not opposed to testing recipients of government handouts for legal and illegal drugs - but I see no need to make it a condition for legalization, since few if any people responsible enough to avoid pot when it's illegal will suddenly become irresponsible enough to not only use pot but render themselves unemployable (whether through employer testing or stupefaction) when it's legal.
and finally acknowledge there will be neagtive impact to society by legalizing pot because not every pot user is responsible.
I've never denied it - I've simply noted that pot criminalization has clear and quantifiable negative impacts, and that "negative impact to society" of liberty is not sufficient reason to deny liberty.
I didn’t “make it up” - I pointed out the logical consequence
That’s how you made it up. That “consequence” is your opinion not what I said.
Please stop digging your hole deeper. I’ve had that same reasoning from leftists who use logic to conclude Conservatives are racist, sexist & homophobes.
Your logic is your opinion.
I never wrote what you implied, period.
Wrong no matter how often you repeat it.
I never wrote what you implied
I never said nor implied that you wrote it.
Your conclusion doesn't follow from your premise; given that humans are fallible, it's naive only to expect the best. And nobody here expects that.
Please, stop! You made a claim that was utterly false. Your logic was wrong. Your logic is your wrong opinion.
Some advice, dump your logic. Its an epic fail. But has given me something to laugh about.
No, you imagined a claim.
Your logic was wrong.
You have yet to demonstrate that this is the case.
You’ve called an end to the conservative movement for the sake of imprisoning users of disapproved plant matter ... good choice.
This is your opinion. Your logic not reality of anything I proclaimed.
If this is how you engage someone with a different opinion you’re failing epically to make an impact.
To repeat: "Logic is not a matter of opinion."
not reality of anything I proclaimed.
To repeat: "I never said nor implied that you wrote it."
If all you're going to do is endlessly repeat your misinterpretations and false assertions, I'm done here.
You’ve called an end to the conservative movement for the sake of imprisoning users of disapproved plant matter ... good choice.
Glad you’re done after creating this opinion not supported by something I posted.
