I claim no authority for myself. My consistent recommendation has been for those engaged on the subject to think with an open mind and to review the and asses current medical and other scientific evidence on marijuana. On balance, I believe that it shows broad harmful effects and some limited medical benefits.

Remarkably, marijuana advocates commonly seem to reject looking at the evidence. You call this "pulling out fallacies."

In contrast, the experience of friends and my review of the evidence over the years led me to gradually embrace and vote for medical marijuana in Florida, albeit while continuing to oppose broad legalization. This makes for messy and contentious debates and unsettled policy that will continue to evolve with experience and evidence.

“Remarkably, marijuana advocates commonly seem to reject looking at the evidence.”

Present some actual evidence that isn’t bought & paid for propaganda by either side of the issue AND isn’t behind a paywall & see if you notice a different reaction.

“You call this “pulling out fallacies.”

Fake news also. I call the use of fallacies intellectual dishonesty & your so called “jibe” was fallacious in addition to not being humorous.

More freedom is always better than less.
