The George Soros-funded campaign to legalize marijuana has run into a problem. Joseph Smith, convicted and sentenced to death for the abduction, rape and murder of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia, has been exposed as a pothead. In an unsuccessful ploy to spare his life, his attorneys argued that he was a drug addict, used drugs on the occasion of the Brucia murder, and began his involvement with drugs by smoking marijuana. It looks like marijuana didn't have many "medical benefits" in this case.

What a stupid strawman article.
Dopers often do. Loaded or not.
"We are increasingly told by the major media that marijuana can make people feel better and can cure various diseases. Here was a case which links marijuana to a vicious murder."
Replace "weed" with "guns" in this article and he sounds just like a pathetic liberal. Which is exactly what he is for using this retarded strawman argument.
Like I said, a stupid strawman article that only lemmings who support the disastrous War on Drugs will eagerly drink up as the truth.
BTW...you're not seriously holding up "reefer madness" as a serious arguement against smoking pot are you?
No.
I am saying that people who indulge in selfish desire are in fact, on the wrong track. Whether it is alchohol, drugs, sexual promiscuity, homosexuality (another form of sexual promiscuity), love of money, lust, hatred or any other number of things that places their selfish desire above their love for their fellow man or their submission to God, they are on the wrong track.
Kerry favors medical marijuana and says that, as a prosecutor, he didn't go after marijuana offenders, in a policy amounting to decriminalization. He believes that people can be "responsible" marijuana users.When Kerry was caught at a campaign event pretending to smoke a marijuana cigarette, reporters such as Ceci Connolly of the Washington Post downplayed the incident, saying Kerry was just having fun.
Pothead? Wow, I haven't heard anyone use that term in decades.
I could like hundreds other other things to murder also....doesnt make the arguement valid.
49 posts to this silly article. guess i'm not the only one stoned tonight.
any stats to back that up?......alcohol gets blamed for everything but I suspect that drugs are NOT tested for .....I suspect that most alcohol related accidents or crimes are in reality, alcohol AND drug related....
One could make the arguement that posting on FR is a selfish desire.
It is for me...what about you?
It's not PC.
Unfortunatetly for you, I'm not going to play your game, again drug war proponents are pyschologically incapable of understanding common sense and facts, so have a nice night.
I was allways found of "burnout" myself....hehehe...
damn, I really am stoned
