The negative affects of consuming nasty food (which is a real problem) are tertiary and can be absorbed.

Can be absorbed? And has been proven to cause diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc... Gluttony is a deadly sin - which deadly sin does smoking a plant which God made fall under?

God gives us all free-will to choose that which is right and that which is wrong. But, you want to simply deny anyone those choices, because you know better. Thank God your self-righteousness is only in drug abuse, and not in everything - that would make you a liberal.

Exactly. Disease and early death (and skyrocketing health care costs) is “absorbing” the problems created by a chronically poor diet - but pot, on the other hand, will create REAL problems? Disingenuous at best.
