To quibble over semantics and amphiboly? If not, concede the point.
Yes, and no. I took the opportunity of looking up amphiboly. The definition came up - any of a group of complex silicate minerals with like crystal structures that contain calcium, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, and iron ions or a combination of them. Ya got me.

The crime committed by using marijuana is possession.
No, it isn't.

Take some time to learn the law. Really cool stuff if you have the ability to comprehend...

Definition: An amphiboly occurs when the construction of a sentence allows it to have two different meanings.

No, it isn't.

This, however, is not amphiboly. Here you're just flat-out wrong.

No, you didn't, liar.

Here, the first place I looked, at dictionary.com, for anyone who wants to know what it means, and doesn't already. I should say that it doesn't surprise me that you don't know what it means, since it is a term from analytical logic.

As to the rest of it, you're obviously so unabashedly full of sh!t that there is no point continuing with you.

I have a funny feeling that I am not the first person who ever called you a liar, but -- you are a liar. People lie when the truth is their enemy.

Let the truth be your enema, @sshole.
