“The WeedWussies love the fake feelings that result from abusing pot. Fake feelings for a fake people.”
As a conservative myself, it seems to me that your writings are unreasonably biased against the notion that this medicine, in use for more than 30,000 years, is anything other than utterly harmful.
It also seems that you attribute to it powers that it does not have. I won’t say that a person who wishes to be knowledgeable should compare the effects of pot with heroin and LSD, because heroin and LSD are genuinely dangerous drugs that should only be used, if at all, under medical supervision.
Compared to those two drugs, pot is little stronger than a good pot of oolong.
I now stand by to be accused of being a pot-head, a junkie, and a user of LSD.
Also an enemy of Virtue, a slave to and promoter of vice, and a corrupter of children.
And then they run around accusing the libertarians of being the hysterical ones? It's the same kind of projection we see from the Left so often.
My experience on this thread is that it's the Prohibitionists who are hysterical and unhinged, resorting to feeble smears and insults in an effort to shift the focus from their arbitrary authoritarian dogma—which is fundamentally indefensible.
As soon as any government—enabled by Tyrants, bureaucrats and/or an emotional mob—can start implementing arbitrary law, and declaring this or that to be a crime in the complete absence of anyone's rights being infringed, there is no practical limit to the power the State can wield.
And that is the narrow view of "Liberty" and the "Pursuit of Happiness" that everyone else is supposed to swallow?
What a Free Individual does—or possesses—in the privacy of their home (that pesky ol' Fourth Amendment rearing its ugly head again) is nobody else's business, as long as nobody's rights are being infringed. And for anyone to claim they believe in minimal government while rejecting that notion is the epitome of hypocrisy.
So let the smears and insults fly. I, for one, consider them as a badge of honor—a testament to the bankruptcy of the Prohibitionist argument...
