Nevertheless, you introduced the comparison into the discussion. You, and nobody else, which means you are in no position to accuse others of a fallacy for simply commenting on a comparison that YOU brought up.

Sigh. Once again, Basic logic. I did not compare Alcohol to Marijuana. I pointed out that Conflating Freedom is always comparing Alcohol to Marijuana. I was MOCKING the comparison of Alcohol to Marijuana, not indulging in it.

There you go again, making ad hominems without even having any evidence to back them up. A sure sign you have run out of rational arguments.

I can see how you get cross wired. You can't seem to tell the difference between something meant to be humorous and something meant to be serious. It's like your joke meter is broken or something.

Again, regardless of whether you were mocking or serious, YOU brought the subject of the comparison up. YOU introduced it into the discussion, not ME. YOU cannot accuse ME of a “tu quoque” fallacy for commenting on a comparison that YOU introduced into the discussion.

“You can’t seem to tell the difference between something meant to be humorous and something meant to be serious.”

Yeah, right. You regularly try to tar anyone who disagrees with you on this topic as a pot head, so I’m not letting you play that off as a “joke”. It’s an ad hominem, a fallacy, as you are so fond of accusing other of making, except this time, the charge is accurate.
