What your post shows is that you can't debate the legalization of marijuana on the merits. You have to invent these slippery slope arguments that detract from the real issue at hand.

First off, my comment was in response to the gov's statement, nothing more, ok? You are the one who added your little manifesto about the legalization, etc etc.

Second, my wife is a 2 time breast cancer survivor who, as the only way to stop the violent nausea, smoked pot. So don't tell me about inventing ANYTHING, got it? You don't know me, and have absolutely NO IDEA what I am about or what I have been through.

So, take your all knowing attitude and shove it...freak'n kook.

Your wife’s story is completely irrelevant to this story. Sorry to hear she went through all of that but that has nothing to do with the issue you posted about, which is impaired driving. I responded to that and told you it was a slippery slope argument because everyone knows impaired driving occurs in California even now, with marijuana decriminalized yet not legalized. The appeal to pity fallacy has no place here. I wasn’t debating the issue of medical marijuana which is the issue your emotional post deals with.
