“Call it worldview paradigm change rather than life change.”

Around 200 Million people around the world use pot today and probably close to a billion have used it since the 1937 ban. Who knows how many used it in the thousands of years before.

Yet in all those years, the drug warriors could not come up with a SINGLE set of twins with ANY permanent difference from using pot. Not even ONE set of twin lab animals when exposed to impossibly high levels of the drug showed any changes. Pot prohibition is purely emotional correlation, name-calling and hysteria.

Yes, idiots, liberals and schizophrenics (but I repeat myself) are more likely to abuse drugs and openly smoke pot. Just like schizos are 5-7 times more likely to smoke tobacco than average. Does that prove tobacco or pot caused it? NO, it is simply a correlation.

The only proven danger from pot is psychological addiction but the same can be said for video games, gambling, sex, adrenaline, junk food, shopping, porn, internet, hoarding, overexercising, anorexia, etc, etc, etc. Do you really want government to control EVERYTHING potentially addictive?

I was once so addicted to junk food that I lost everything and only stopped when I almost lost my life. I think junk food makers are just as evil as drug pushers but still don't believe government should be protecting people from themselves. We are on the road to a 'pre-crime' police state because of that mentality.

Thanks.

You gave yourself away with the “ drug warrior” comment.

You’re just another pot head lost boy.

Nothing personal, no offense, but you are not serious, but are political and polemical.

You are definitely quite committed to your sacrament.
