Did sweet_taters use the word "intrinsically"?

He couldn't have meant by "drugs are anti-family" only that their use can get you arrested to the detriment of your family, because he offered that claim as a counterargument not to drug use but to an "open policy on drug use" (i.e. legalization).

The only people I've seen use that word are of the weasel type when they wish to avoid reality.

I never denied the reality that illegal drugs can get you arrested.

Are you accurately portraying his statement when you ask how marijuana is intrinsically more anti-family than alcohol?

It was not my intent to portray his statement at all. Is your foolish question an attempt to weasel out of answering mine?

"Is your foolish question an attempt to weasel out of answering mine?"

You took a general statement and twisted it into a drug-specific, hypothetical comparison to alcohol. Of course I won't answer it. I told you I'm tired of your trying to compare marijuana to alcohol -- I'm certainly not going to encourage it.

Drugs are anti-family. Argue that, if you wish, since it is you who wish all drugs to be legal and freely available at the 7-11.
