I don't think I've ever taken the position that pot is completly harmless. My position is that pot is no worse than alcohol, and probably less so. In my mind then, it is just plain silly to go after what is no worse than what we can legally get in the first place.
I don't want to duel "reports," and I'm not even out to "convince" you pot is good for you. I just want to try and find some middle ground with you guys - perhaps from there we could find compromise. This entire debate around here has degenerated and become a quite bitter and sometimes vicious. This has closed the lines of communication and I'm as guilty as anyone else of stirring the fire.
Perhaps this discussion can begin a reasonable discussion of the drug problem in this country and how to rightly help and or solve it.
If that were the case we'd see a few posts extolling self-destruction, in contrast to the DOI-enshrined human rights which is the whole foundation of successful self-governance. In other words, the tyrants waiting in the wings salivate whenever the people despair of the value of human life. "Who cares about others?" is music to their ears.
