I don't understand...Do you want me to prove your claim is valid for you?

Don't be obtuse.

All I sought was a verifiable source for your claims as to the specifically mentioned Founding Fathers growing / smuggling C. indica. (Because if that could be proved beyond reasonable doubt, it would provide more ammunition for me as well.)

It was at that point you became defensive and smart mouthed, when you could have simply posted the link you (finally) referenced in your last comment to me.

(As an aside, anyone, myself included, who has defended a thesis or research paper in front of one's peers knows that the burden of proof is borne by the one making the assertions. Suggesting for someone to seek out the verification for himself is at best amateurish.)

Is Cannabis a dangerous drug that should be prohibited?

For adult use in my opinion, no!

Does Cannabis Prohibition contribute to teen Meth use?

In my opinion, yes it can. I've known more than one dealer who carried multiple product lines, and they had no objection as to whom they sold.

Is Cannabis Prohibition based on fact or propaganda?

Both. Anslinger's diatribes were extreme distortions. But its illegality functions as a price support. That's a fact. And 1000's of palms get greased to keep it that way.

Should we base our laws on reason or myth?

Reason is fine, but when the entire system is rigged, it doesn't carry a whole lotta weight.

Chill out, Dude...I'm not attacking you. I've been posting links and references repeatedly, including on this current thread. If I offended you, I appologize. I mistakenly thought you had been following this topic and were just trying to cinFLA me.

I referenced George Washington's Diary in the first post. I can think of no better verifiable source than that.
I thought I had already put up the Jefferson link on this thread. That was my mistake which I corrected.
Good enough?
