There's a legitimate debate to be had. But not when one side breathlessly exclaims that marijuana kills people.

No one said this. You just aren't keeping up with the debate. I never argued that marijuana was killing (through overdose, that is) "people", my argument has been consistently that it will kill societies, albeit slower than a stronger poison would. Did you miss all my references to China? China is not a person, it is a society. Drugs killed China.

Once again, let me correct your failure to understand or grasp the simple argument I am making. Legalized drugs will kill a society. More dangerous drugs will simply do it faster.

Nice try!

This is what you said in Post #55, in response to me calling you out for equating marijuana with opium --

Post #55 -- It's the difference between strychnine and arsenic. One just kills you more slowly is all.

Must be a misunderstanding on my part, though.
