That, too. I'm from Mass. and sure know you gotta keep the boys happy.
LOL! WTF are you babbling about?
Powder form?
I don't think you even know what pot is, do you?
Then you said :...pot is easier to get...
Make up your mind, which is it, pot is easier to get than beer, or beer is easier to get than pot?
It helps if you abstaing from drinking large amounts of alcohol before you post...it only makes you look foolish.
Yep, that War on Some Drugs is really working out well.
Nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol aren't drugs?
I see where you are coming from now...you are all for the jackboots harassing innocent pot smokers, just as long as you get to use your drug of choice unmolested.
So far, in your short posting history at FR, nothing you have posted has made any sense.
Holy shit, this is funny.

Section 8 of Judge Young's "Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision." Page 56 & 57 http://mojo.calyx.net/~olsen/MEDICAL/YOUNG/young 3. The most obvious concern when dealing with drug safety is the possibility of lethal effects. Can the drug cause death? 4. Nearly all medicines have toxic, potentially lethal effects. But marijuana is not such a substance. There is no record in the extensive medical literature describing a proven, documented cannabis-induced fatality. This is a remarkable statement. First, the record on marijuana encompasses 5,000 years of human experience. Second, marijuana is now used daily by enormous numbers of people throughout the world. Estimates suggest that from twenty million to fifty million Americans routinely, albeit illegally, smoke marijuana without the benefit of direct medical supervision. Yet, despite this long history of use and the extraordinarily high numbers of social smokers, there are simply no credible medical reports to suggest that consuming marijuana has caused a single death. 6. By contrast aspirin, a commonly used, over-the-counter medicine, causes hundreds of deaths each year. 7. Drugs used in medicine are routinely given what is called an LD-50. The LD-50 rating indicates at what dosage fifty percent of test animals receiving a drug will die as a result of drug induced toxicity. A number of researchers have attempted to determine marijuana's LD-50 rating in test animals, without success. Simply stated, researchers have been unable to give animals enough marijuana to induce death. 8. At present it is estimated that marijuana's LD-50 is around 1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette. NIDA-supplied marijuana cigarettes weigh approximately .9 grams. A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response. 9. In practical terms, marijuana cannot induce a lethal response as a result of drug-related toxicity. |

Wow. Libertarian bullshit. Thanks for that; next time offer it in a sandwich.
