Yep.
Not much more one can say.
Millions of people smoke pot who don't have accidents. Alcohol is much, much worse yet it's legal. Why?
>>
Because it doesn't make you nearly as stupid as pot does.
And pot makes you stupid even when you're NOT high. It takes months to get that stuff out of your system.
IQ is precious; there's a shortage of it in the world. Why waste it?
Does being elected to public office make a man good, or can greed, power lust and stupidity, evidence of the fallen, play a role in the genesis of statutes?
Is cannabis illegal because it's bad, or bad because it's illegal. And, if it's bad because it's illegal, which is the sum total of your reasoning, and man makes it illegal, what does that say about your ability to discern what is good or bad for your country?
Yeah..... How DARE we try to exercise that pesky thing called freedom!
Nothing like the taste of boot-polish in the morning, eh?

Fourteen year olds can easily find pot if they wish. They can also find alcohol or huff or any number of things. But we're talking about adults. Why can't adults use marijuana if they want to? Why is it the government's business? If the SC ruled sodomy is a protected privacy, why not smoking pot?
Lots of new research is out further disproving your hypothesis.>>>
Funded by those who would become millionaires once the lie is generally accepted.

The SC also ruled that exterminating children is a protected privacy too. Next question?
Hey even professional drug traffickers need love.
Then all the more reason to legalize it - tax it - just like alcohol. Why are you so against people making their own choices?

Your homework assignment, MamaTexan, is to go to GOOGLE and type in the word "thalidomide."
Okay - now I know you aren't seriously comparing smoking pot to abortion, are you? LOL
My IQ is about 136-139. Not bad, really.
Thomas Hobbes said that, not some hysterical nitwit on the internet. You should credit those you quote, plagiarist.
No, I'm saying that the Supreme Court has been massively stupid in the past; just because it says something is legal don't make it right.
I was complimenting my readership in their ability to recognize a quote without attribution. Are you so stupid as to require that I attribute "government of the people" too? Apparently so.
You do know that this happens because marijuana is illegal, don't you? Or has Anheuser-Busch been cracking skulls, too?
He's not trying to relieve his own pain.
Apparently you didn't read the article, so let's try again.
Tuck, an Army vet, uses marijuana to help treat chronic pain associated with injuries he received in a parachuting accident back in the 1980s (reportedly his parachute failed to open during a jump).You didn't vote to help sick people; you voted (whether you knew it or not) to make drug thugs rich and teenagers into burnouts.
The evidence shows that medical marijuana statutes do not lead to an increase in use among teenagers.
Also, "drug thugs" do not get rich off of legal marijuana. They lose their market when drugs are legalized. Seen any shootouts between Jack Daniels and Jim Beam lately?
Again, I say to you, that you are talking out of your butt. You have no idea what it does. You are simply emoting your WOD mantras.
Drug thugs are getting rich because the stuff is illegal. If legal, they would have no market. That is simple economics.
marijuana works so well for pain, how come the guy needed prescriptions for oxycontin and morphine?
Actually, in my case, it has done a world of good for my blood pressure. I was already taking a lot of prescription meds, which caused undesirable side effects, without really addressing the underlying needs, within MY body.
You'll have to ask Rush Limbaugh about Oxycontin. I have no experience... I never needed to play golf!
I do not smoke it just for the medical needs. So friggin' what! I am not hurting you, and I have not seen any drop in IQ. I still am able to run my businesses, and make a good living.
You guys are pathetic. You ought to get a real life, instead of worying about what others are doing behind closed (and sometimes open) doors.
People like you are often called "busybody's"! I prefer the term "jack booted thug"!
Sig heil!
"You argue that it is all about drug dealers making money... Yet the last thing the drug dealers and gangs want is for it to be legalized. It puts them out of business... But you seem to be unable to wrap your brain around that simple fact."
Maybe she has smoked too much pot! LOL
