IMO, it is a misnomer that smoking marijuana is prohibited by law. As far as I know there is no law that prohibits smoking marijuana.

Then you agree. Thanks.

There are no laws specifically against using an air- compressor to fill a bus-driver full of helium with the intent of creating a novel balloon either, but common sense dictates that such acts are covered under other criminal statutes.

Conversely, it is purely an exercise in semantic wanking to presume that people could smoke pot without first being in possession of it.

Earth to Libloather...

I posted that to you way back early on this thread at post #19. Then again, I said basically the same thing on the Drug Czar on Anti-Marijuana Crusade thread, which is where you got the quote to begin this thread.

"As far as I know, ironically, there is no law that prohibits smoking marijuana."

That quote was from me to you over on this thread: Drug Czar on Anti-Marijuana Crusade. (An interesting juxtaposition between myself and liblother.)

IMO, it is a misnomer that smoking marijuana is prohibited by law. As far as I know there is no law that prohibits smoking marijuana. There are laws prohibiting possession of marijuana.

In a court of law the distinction is critical. One act can result in a court trial, the other doesn't. One act can result in being sent to prison, the other can't.

This forum is not a court of law and it is logically assumed by the vast majority of people that in order to smoke marijuana a person must have marijuana in their possession.

You appear to be making a very petty argument.
