Your saying it doesn't make it so; you're rhetorically appealing to people's repugnance at endangering innocents without factual justification---or the honesty to admit that you're doing so.

Huh? I am not the one shielding myself behind innocent human suffering to promote a wider political agenda of validating the drug culture.

Like I said I am for the concept of medical marijuana, not your agenda of validating the drug culture.

But you are rhetorically appealing to people's repugnance at endangering innocents, without factual justification---or the honesty to admit that you're doing so.

And I'm not shielding anything; even if I were to be persuaded that recreational marijuana use should be illegal, I would continue to support the legality of medical marijuana.

Do you support repealing the 21st Amendment, and returning to the days of moonshine, speakeasys, and Al Capone? After all, ending Prohibition validated the "alcohol culture", didn't it?

The "drug culture", as you describe it, started long before the 1960's: it started in the 1930's, with the first generation of Americans that relied on the welfare state for assorted and sundry government handouts. Marijuana isn't the enemy - socialism is.
