Oh, Common. Do you really believe that "Reefer Madness" nonsense.

No.

However those who are severely mentally ill do not do well on marijuana. As I've posted before, when society has a handle on the mentally ill, even if it's only re-institutionalizing them, I might agree to a limited use of pot. But if you think I am going to concede to anyone being able to cruise on down to the 7-11 for a pack of nugs, you're wrong. Take another hit, man.

I have been told (and this may be hooey, as I freely admit) that if there was a quick roadside test for marijuana intoxication it would be legalized. Think about hundreds of thousands of stoned-out drivers on the road...

Nor alcohol, nor many other legal nonchemical stimuli. Should they ALL be banned because of their effect on the severely mentally ill? If not, why single out marijuana?

It's hooey ... that's just a smokescreen (no pun intended). Pre-Breathalyzer roadside sobriety tests would do quite well.

Regarding drug laws and the mentally ill: I'm still waiting for your response to this.

Thanks for demonstrating the low character of the average Drug War cheerleader.

It's not that WODies lack character. It's just their arguments that suck.

This post delivers.

Rodney Dangerfield: I tried marijuana once but it made me so hungry. How hungry? I smoked half a joint and ate the other half.

Many of them have displayed Clint N. Suhks' low character ... and I can't offhand think of one who hasn't resorted to personal attacks (albeit not all are as low as Clint's).

I think that is quite possibly the lamest argument I've seen. There are alot of people who drink and drive, or who get violent on alchohol, so we should deny everyone else a glass of wine?

He smoked quite a bit of pot, btw.

Yawn. Isn't a little early for the seventh grade comments?

Yes, I would like to see a roadside test too. Mostly because if a person is drug tested and there is presence of marijuana they are considered DWI. Even if that intoxication occured last week sometime, it still shows in your system.

They're home from school this week.

That drug already exists too. It's called getting off your dead butt for some exercise and pushing away from the table before you feel full.

I like the ad that's running right now for Lunesta, the sleep-inducing medicine. At the end, where it lists the reported side effects it includes "drowsiness." Duh!
