I answered it. The concept of human shield is a political one.

Saddam uses human shield to protect his regime. He uses "volunteer" human shields to protect assets and further his political life and cause.

Pot proponents use the sympathy rightly garnered of physically sick people to further their political cause of making the recreational drug culture more mainstream.

If organizations such as NORML would stop at medical marijuana then they would be honest, but medical marijuana is not their ultimate goal. Their ultimate goal is for total legalization of pot and the drug culture and thus the pointing out of innocent people as their human shields to further their ultimate goal.

Their ultimate goal is for total legalization of pot

That IS their goal ... and mine, too.

Using someone as a human shield puts them at risk; how do pro-pot legalizers put medical patients at risk?

I answered it.

That is a clear lie.
