If it is a medicine it can be made legal but regulated and that regulation needs to be consistent across state lines. FDA does that.

If it’s a recreational drug, then it can’t be legal and we will continue this nonsense until someone with balls ends it.

False dichotomy. It doesn't have to be an "either/or" question, and the fallacy is easily demonstrated. Alcohol is used both recreationally and medicinally.

Ummmmm.....Alchohol is a lousy comparison as it’s used more as a chemical to put drug preparations into suspension, and also as a disinfectant but that’s a different alcohol. But I don’t want to go there anyway. Any other use of alcohol medicinally is what we can self medication and it’s not a good thing. if fact many drugs have been developed to replace the need to self medicate.

In reality the alcohol argument is old, stale and useless. You might just as well use the utterly meaningless phrase, which you tried to avoid by saying alcohol is a drug too.

I believe I said those same words in 1969.

What I told you in my opinion is the way I see the reality. Two generations have been trying to redefine marijuana and a third is beginning to do the same..

In effect, nothing has happened and everything has been tried. All you have accomplished is to create a mess.
