true, very true, no argument their, so why add to the number by making something else legal?

We were in different circles, then. Laced baked goods were quite common in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Besides that, in spite of the stereotypes of the era, a lot of people adamantly avoided and opposed drug use.

People are doing pot, some people walk off buildings.

Occasionally there will be someone who does both.

They are implying cause and effect.

But it is as wrong as saying driving a car causes accidents. Many people drive cars, SOME have accidents.

If EVERYONE who smoked pot fell off a building, then you would be on to something. One example does not prove anything.

PERSON KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENT AFTER SHOPPING AT WALMART!

Equally valid headline. Does not mean shopping at walmart causes death by car accident

A drunk driver will blow right past a stop sign.

A stoned driver will wait for it to turn green.

LOL. Lets not let our limited govt principles get in the way of our clamoring for big progressive govt shall we.

You consider the source of that thread credible……..Really?

What is the governments rights to make anything illegal anyway? It is the exact argument liberals use to ban guns.

I wonder if the writer of this article was smoking pot, since when is a student from Wyoming a foreign exchange student? Did Wyoming Secede?
