You have no moral position in this matter. Zip. And even worse, you know it.

Once again, you don't like being called out on the fact that you are proposing to justify the carnage of marijuana by pointing to the carnage of alcohol. It rankles you that I can sum up your position so accurately and succinctly, and it's very uncomplimentary.

As a matter of fact, it sounds exactly like a child's "Well *HE* did it too!" argument, because that is exactly what it is.

"Alcohol did it too!"

"The carnage of marijuana"?

LOL, and what carnage would that be?

You can post all the pictures you want - after all, kicking over the table is what children do, and you seem to be obsessed with childish thinking.

Nevertheless, while you're spewing your temper-tantrum, the world will go on as it always has, with people comparing relative harms. And every time they do, they will see that alcohol is literally thousands of times more dangerous than marijuana. They will also see that the Constitution is a doctrine of negative rights, and so permission is not needed for anything not addressed as a role of limited government. And finally, they will see that by the standards of harm, which is the ONLY standard legally allowable here, marijuana is untouchable, and that alcohol acceptance provides the perfect standard for allowable harm.

Like I said, you have no moral position and no logical position and no medical position. And therefore, you also have no legal position. But you scream real good, so I guess that's something. What something, I couldn't say. But something.
