Me: If we treated tobacco the same way as mj, we would have the same result with the tobacco trade. Do you disagree?

SD: Last I looked into it, prolonged use of tobacco doesn't destroy neurons in a person's brain.

At least you dodged the question with a non sequitur this time, rather than profanity.

Care to address the question again?

You’re comparing apples with oranges. I don’t agree they, tobacco and marijuana, should be treated the same. And your question doesn’t make sense in the light that they haven’t been treated the same. You’re asking me to speculate on something that hasn’t existed.

You criticize me for one word but ignore the contents of the paragraphs following it, no doubt because it was contrary to your position about Europe’s “enlightened” treatment of drug usage. Many socialist nations won’t deal with their problems. They just ignore them. You sound like a Libertarian; drugs should be legal than no problems would exist because of it’s use. Guess again. Spain eventually recriminalized the use of drugs again and the crime rate subsided.

You have avoided my main issue - that drug addicts are bankrupting our system and destroying our country by using poison produced by our enemies. So what are you proposing we do? (Throwing verbal stink bombs at me is easy. Coming up with a solution is hard.) If you’ve some magic elixir that will solve this problem, let’s take a look at it.
