You are a work of art alright. Too bad you did not have a chance to straighten out Buckley. You are a big help to my cause. Please tell us more.

I sure wish you did not believe 1 + 1 = 2. It might give us a clue into how you come up with what you have said.

How about comparing Ambien to the theoretical Free Cannabis we would have if prohibition did not bastardize everything down to the definition of liberty. Are you going to say cannabis won’t help you sleep? Can you admit it is non-toxic ? Even if both equal in safety, which anyone should know that is far from the truth, how would you say something that cost a bunch of money is better than something that is free? Maybe you can tell us how much that Ambien cost and give us the warning label and some horror stories.

Please respond. You are a real trip.

Buckley, like many well meaning conservatives, was duped by leftist propaganda that used words like "freedom" and "states rights" and "liberty" to push drug legalization. It's standard leftist rhetoric to get sinful activities legalized. It works every time it's tried in an immoral or amoral or when government is controlled by immoral or amoral people. Look at abortion and pornography for the playbook here.

Any honest libertarian would have to support the legality of these issues. Do you?

Drinking 6 beers will make you sleep but that doesn't mean it's good medicine. Try again.

Can you admit it is non-toxic

No because it's not. Your bodies reaction to it, the "high" means that your body is trying to cope with a poison, a toxin, that has been introduced to it.

Oh good. Since you want to quote a DEA lawyer I'll quote the DEA website:

Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illnesses, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency toward obstructed airways. Cancer of the respiratory tract and lungs may also be promoted by marijuana smoke. Marijuana has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because marijuana smoke contains 50 percent to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke.(8) Marijuana's damage to short-term memory seems to occur because THC alters the way in which information is processed by the hippocampus, a brain area responsible for memory formation. In one study, researchers compared marijuana smoking and nonsmoking 12th-graders' scores on standardized tests of verbal and mathematical skills. Although all of the students had scored equally well in 4th grade, those who were heavy marijuana smokers, i.e., those who used marijuana seven or more times per week, scored significantly lower in 12th grade than nonsmokers. Another study of 129 college students found that among heavy users of marijuana critical skills related to attention, memory, and learning were significantly impaired, even after they had not used the drug for at least 24 hours.(9)

For those of you interested in more harmful effects of pot you can find it here.

Look fast though. The toker in chief is going to have his minions pushing "medical" marijuana harder than ever and it's only a matter of time until all government agencies lose their teeth.
