“The bulk of it certainly is, else you wouldn’t need Mexican drug gangs sneaking it over the border for you.”

Aren’t those gangs only sneaking it over because it’s illegal to cultivate it here? Seems like a bit of circular reasoning on your part.

We were discussing the meaning of "intemperate." It is intemperate to insist on using a product which must be snuck over the borders in defiance of a long standing law. Especially a product that you don't need.

Likewise, cultivating a plant for the sole purpose of baking your brain is also intemperate.
