Next time be more specific and cite a current government sponsored quote -- you know, just like you did with Anslinger

No problem. The government has granted our taxmoney to many researchers to prove the evils of marijuana. The government never publishes the scientific findings that prove the opposite. The government, and people like you, have to resort to myth, propaganda and generalities like your "for some" comment.

Lynn Zimmer, a sociologist at the City University of New York, and John Morgan, a physician and professor of pharmacology at the CUNY Medical School, provide extensive references on this topic.
I'll skip past the science and go directly to their analogy:
"Most people who ride a motorcycle (a fairly rare activity) have ridden a bicycle (a fairly common activity). Indeed, the prevalence of motorcycle riding among people who have never ridden a bicycle is probably extremely low. However, bicycle riding does not cause motorcycle riding, and increases in the former will not lead automatically to increases in the latter."

I'm not going to dick around with your generalities.

I back up my "generalities" with fact from scientific literature and historical documentation. You back yours with myth and propaganda.

You're wasting my time.

You keep saying that, yet you still post to me....

"The government never publishes the scientific findings that prove the opposite."

Aha! The lack of publishing to the contrary proves your point.

I'm ... speechless. I cannot argue with your "logic".
