I was mocking the pot smokers, you realize this right????

I know. And I was mocking your stereotyping.

...the pot smokers and pot smoking advocates seem to overplay this so that it is some sorta “miracle drug” that could cure everthing from glacoma to gunshot holes....

Where has this been done? Who has ever said that pot could "cure" anything? Got a link?

I can't fathom how a celebration of intoxication would attract a bad element

According to the AP story, a rapper was playing on stage at the time. The potheads were so inclusive, they included some violent, gansta, potheads - which ruined the whole party.

Suppose the clowns from Boston had paid a visit with some pressure cookers?

Well golly, gee, let's call off all sports events and public gatherings of all kinds and cower in fear on a maybe!

Pretty weak argument, man.

Almost every pot head I have had the displeasure of knowing in real life.

They use this as an excuse to themselves that what they are doing is “natural” and “safe”...

They don’t realize that pot smoking can cause lung cancer the same way smoking cigs can.

Why wonder that?
Are you attempting to draw some parallel to the children being killed/injured in Boston to "score points" against legalization?

So your evidence is "take my word for it".

Riiiiight. Got it.

Just curious...why have you been hanging around with pot smokers. Shouldn't you have disassociated yourself from them since you dislike them so much?

Its just another means of luring slaves to the plantation. In this thread from 06 about George Soros infection CPAC you can see the cattle defending selling their souls to Soros.

Doesn't alcohol cause cirrhosis of the liver?

Do imbibers realize that?

While you see it your way I see it as breaking the chains of enslavement on individual freedom and liberty from constricting legislation originally based upon plain old bigotry and ignorance.

What device enables you to know when people are lying? I'd like to see something like that.

Or are people just supposed to take your word for it?

Alread have disassociated from them, as I said I had (past tense) the displeasure of knowing.

I don’t give a rats ass if you smoke your pot all day and belive it will cure everything under the sun.

Just don’t come to my door asking for a donation for lung transplant when you are coughing out balls of tar from your lungs.

Maybe I previously hung around the “wrong pot smokers”....

But I am careful making friends and anyone who smokes pot draws a red flag and if that means I discriminate against pot smokers then so be it.

No, I’m just sayin’. We gotta go on despite some asshats willing to blow us up. After 9/11 we flew on 9/20 regardless of what had happened. It was a bit spooky going in to the airport in Orlando since it was almost deserted. Kind of like one of those post apocolyptic movies where nearly everybody vanishes. The plane to Atlantic City was nearly empty as well. Atlantic City was fairly quiet too. I know we won’t cower in place because of this and we shouldn’t. I didn’t mean we should cancel stuff. Just be aware of what’s going on around you. You know. Situational awareness is always something you should do.
