Illegal alcohol gave us Joe Kennedy, John Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Patches Kennedy....

You’ve dug yourself a hole so deep in this thread, it’s too hard for you to get out. Everything you’ve stated has been rebutted. Your arguments are the same used for gun control.

[AnTiw1]

You've worked in many ER's? I HAVE worked in many ERs, ICUs, NICUs, and ORs. If you've worked in ERs as you say, you know you have no argument. If not, you're both clueless AND dishonest.

Sincerely,

[Mr.Unique]

Marijuana has a history of being linked to crime in the United States and throughout the world. “60% of arrestees test positive for marijuana use in the United States, England, and Australia” (Stimson 6).

“98% of arrestees test positive for bread use in the United States, England, and Australia” (Mr.Unique)

Ban bread!

Amazing how many people can't read more than a few words.

 

I answered my own question in that post. Here. I'll repeat...

 

 

Not without a ton of gubmint interference, you can’t.

“What we do effects others.”

OK, but I believe we call that “life”. Life isn’t perfect, it isn’t always fair, nor does it guarantee nothing bad will ever happen.

Trying to legislate a good time for all is legislating a bad time for everyone.

Amazing....how you can't understand that I can grow tobacco, and make wine, and brew beer..without any "gubmint interference".

Period.

Or should I post it, in big block letters?

[Wissa]

Not without a ton of gubmint interference, you can’t.

Do you have any evidence that there is more government interference in growing your own tobacco than somebody growing their own tomatoes? Are are we suppose to accept it as fact, just because you say so?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

You can't legalize drugs without putting a lot of cops and prison guards out of work.

The 'War on Drugs', of which interdiction of MJ is the lead, is the main reason for the militarization of our police forces.

Can't have them give up their toys can we?

[Venturer]

Let’s make cigarettes illegal and we can all smoke legal Marijuana.

Makes a lot of sense doesn’t it? /s/

[JustSayNoToNannies]

That's easily explained: the ones with unscrambled brains are able to hid their use.

I work with the Children of all abusers. Alcohol, Drugs, Prescription, and street. Try and explain to them its okay for all the users and abusers to control their intake and not affect others.

Should we protect the children of alcohol abusers by banning alcohol?

The Children say YES

Thanks for the update, Mrs. Clinton.

Gun control, huh?

You equate marijuana to guns?

Tell me, do you advocate owning a weapon? Being a responsible gun owner? I’m guessing you do.

I’m also guessing that - if legal - you would use pot also. And have no problems with your children smoking pot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you?

I didn’t think so.

[ladyrustic]

I am perfectly capable of reading your inane, insulting posts in their entirety. The government does not interfere AT ALL if you produce these things for personal consumption. You are the one who should learn to read. Maybe you should try posting your next reply ten times.

[longtermmemmory]

that is absurd.

smoking has zero control of dosage since the plant and quality control would vary.

pills are inspected for quantity control. Liability laws are there for those who fail to maintain proper quality control.

The fact is there are pot heads who will always refuse to look at science in favor of a delusion.

[Responsibility2nd]

Do you know anyone who grows their own tomotoes? I bet you do.

Now. Tell me ANYONE who grows his own tobacco.

[Osage Orange]

Dude or dudette....lighten up.

Yes, I've worked in many ER's "as I said". Have worked for years in a NICU, and ICU's, etc, and continue to so...

Of course I have an argument...and I'm not being dishonest. If you don't think...some pot smoker hasn't done something stupid and died after smoking dope...then I don't know what to tell you.

You're a bit knew here...so I'm going to leave it at that. Won't even call you names. Ha!!

FWIW

[JustSayNoToNannies]

Now answer these:

Really? Can you grow your own tobacco? Can you distill your own booze?

Not without a ton of gubmint interference, you can’t.

Apart from limits on amount, what "gubmint interference" is there on home-brewing?

And the same thing would happen if ever pot was legalized. If you think Big Brother would let you grow a few plants in your back yard without taxing them, then you are missing the point.

Home brewed alcohol is not taxed (as far as I know).

The main point of legalizing dope is to tax it and increase the size of government.

Again... just like with tobacco and booze.

So it would be better to ban tobacco and booze than to let government tax them? You really think that's the small-government position?
