“The pro pot movement never advocates moderation.”
Wrong as usual. “Use of cannabis, to the extent that it impairs health, personal development or achievement, is abuse, to be resisted by responsible cannabis users.” - http://norml.org/marijuana/personal/item/principles-of-responsible-use
However, you misunderstand my point: The Pro-Pot MOVEMENT sd s whole ignores moderation and rejects applying social stigma for excessive use.
It advocates for using marijuana in the morning, at lunch, in the afternoon, with dinner, and at bed. That is not moderation. (I am sure that you read this article.)
However, I see that - as of this morning - you have begun to discuss “moderation of use” in one of your own posts.
It is possible that adding the point of moderation of use to your argument is because you see that I have a legitimate point. Which I do.
If the pro-pot movement wants acceptance, it has to act like a mature player. It has to argue that it’s introduction into society will have less of a negative impact than its opponents declare. A key to doing this is openly rejecting the “wake-and-bake, stay high all day” mentality that is common among users.
I respect your passion in your advocacy of recreational marijuana use, but without appropriate messaging the Movement will remain a “radical addicts cause.”

Thank you for this advocacy page that buries moderation inside of a talking point
Laughable BS. They precedes several paragraphs on responsible use with a brief statement of their pro-legaliztion position - no "burying" there.
- off of the main page
Nor does the main page of the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America have a statement on responsible use of that drug. What of it?
The Pro-Pot MOVEMENT sd s whole ignores moderation
Nice dodge: never mind that a leading voice of the pro-legaliztion movement advocates moderation - not EVERY facet of that movement explcitly does so, so you claim it doesn't do so "as a whole."
It advocates for using marijuana in the morning, at lunch, in the afternoon, with dinner, and at bed. That is not moderation. (I am sure that you read this article.)
You mean the article at the top of this thread? Nowhere does the seller advise using all strains on the same day, and the writer explicitly says he used one strain per day.
If the pro-pot movement wants acceptance, it has to [...] argue that it’s introduction into society will have less of a negative impact than its opponents declare.
Since its opponents are prone to hysterical overstatement, that's an easy argument to make.
