I have sure known plenty of people who avoid or stopped using drugs, or associating with drug users, because of the laws.

The inherent harms of drugs were a minor or non-consideration? Really?

I have sure known plenty of people who avoid or stopped using drugs, or associating with drug users, because of the laws.

Then I can only say that in my opinion most Americans are not as dullwitted as the people you've known.

It isn’t dull witted to avoid trying pot, or to stop using it, or to cut off social association with post users, to avoid problems with laws and the resulting damage to reputation and careers, and employment.

It is dullwitted to set the inherent harms of drugs as a minor or non-consideration.

Shouldn’t you wait until that makes sense, to post it on a thread? To just blurt it out for no reason or context, looks weird.

Nice try. Context restored - in which it makes perfect sense. Any other clumsy games you'd like to try to play?

Games, like pretending that military people or people who aspire to become part of the military quit using pot, or avoid it because of the law, HAVE to also not consider the harm of pot according to you? How does concern for the law automatically exclude worrying about drug harm in your strange world?

Why would you feel that it is confirmation of being “dull witted” for millions of Americans avoiding drugs or ending their use of them because they don’t want to be outside the law? Do you believe that about all criminal behavior?

I have sure known plenty of people who avoid or stopped using drugs, or associating with drug users, because of the laws, and many other illegal activities for the same reason.

It isn’t dull witted to avoid trying pot, or to stop using it, or to cut off social association with post users, to avoid problems with laws and the resulting damage to reputation and careers, and employment.
