"(BTW, it's not illegal to ingest drugs. Never was. Ingest away.)"

Tell it to hundreds of thousands of jailed 'ingestees', paulsen.. Then slither back to your corner.

It pains me to agree with Robert Paulsen,but I must point out that he is technically correct, at least in most jurisdictions.

You wannabe lawyers are so cute...


"Technically speaking" [puff & swagger], at some point in the act of ingesting one is in possession, no?


But whatever, -- you have made your clever, nitpicking point, and that's what's really important, correct?
Who cares that thousands of 'criminals' are in jail for the act of ingesting 'drugs', right?

This Republic is dying because we have too many technically correct bureaucratic clowns everywhere we turn.

I think cannabis should be legalized. However, going around making factually incorrect arguements does not do the cause any service, sir.

Neither do ad homonyms against people correcting your inaccurate statements.

"Tell it to hundreds of thousands of jailed 'ingestees', paulsen."

Almost all of those in prison on drug related charges are there because they were dealing or trafficking an illegal drug. They played the game and lost. They knew the rules.

Very few people are jailed (for a brief period) for possessing and ingesting small amounts of marijuana.

Tell your Bird Man of Alcatraz sob story to someone who cares.
