Pot smoking is not contagious - it's a choice some people make and others don't.
Truth hurts, doesn't it?
Summed you up pretty good, didn't it?
It didn't - but it nicely summed up your hypocrisy.
The recreational use of mind altering chemicals is for LOSERS (alcohol included).
Pot smoking is not contagious - it’s a choice some people make and others don’t.

Isn’t that essentially the same argument you were making ealier this week regarding child porn?
Why yes. Yes it is.
Right! It’s to “save the environment” because the average Oregon citizen can’t possibly pump gas safer and better than unskilled, minimum wage, idiots.
Why yes. Yes it is.
Lying about me again. You need professional help.
I don’t feel sorry for people like you because your confusion and radical beliefs would cause much harm to the populace. You are no different that a lot of these extreme politicians who push harmful legislation / more than it could ever help the people. I see it as the wacked - out libertarians are like the liberal republicans because they never can build a consensus of a majority due to they don’t believe in responsibly and or say a standard. A standard dates back to the Founding Fathers. You can’t leave that out for a society to survive.
You wish. Any rational person who has bothered to look at addiction knows this assertion is utter nonsense. China climbed to 50% adult male usage by 1900, according to DrugLibrary.org.
Then, in 1906, the incredible happened. After over a hundred years of steady demoralization, with half her population opium addicts, or worse still, making enormous profits out of the trade, China determined to give up opium. In all history, no nation has ever set itself such a gigantic task, with such a gigantic handicap. China, a country of immense distances, with scant means of communication; with no common language, a land where only the scholars can read and write, suddenly decided to free herself from this vice. The Emperor issued an edict saying that in ten years' time all opium traffic must cease, and an arrangement was made with Great Britain whereby this might be accomplished. To the honor of America be it said that we assisted China in this resolution. We agreed to see her through.
According to this article it was 90% in some Provinces.
In the early part of twentieth century there were many changes in the opium trade. China and India reached an agreement for cessation of Indian opium imports. By 1920's opium had infiltrated every part of Chinese life, 90% of males in some provinces smoked, morphine was called "Jesus opium" because of its introduction by Western Missionaries as a cure for opium addiction. China was a country divided-up into many different political units with "control" ceded to Japan, America and various European nations.
You are an irresponsible man doing your d@mnedest to contribute to the destruction of our society, and you are so ignorant about the danger you are pushing.
Pot was legal at the time of the Founding Fathers - and for a century and a half afterward.
Any rational person who has bothered to look at addiction knows this assertion is utter nonsense. China climbed to 50% adult male usage by 1900
Any rational person who has bothered to look at a globe and a calendar knows that modern America is not 19th century China.
Homegrown chemical weapons are just as dangerous as foreign made. The Feds still have a responsibility to interdict them, especially those crossing state lines.
Oh look, back again, with nothing but insults and lies. thus, once again, proving everyone else right. If you have fact use them, if you don’t follow your own advice and sit down and shut up.
Nonsense - libertarianism is a political philosophy and as such doesn't address the moral compass of God other than to say imposing it is not the proper function of government.
States like Washington, Colorado, and soon Oregon, are on
their way to becoming malignant zones of failure - just like Somalia.
Which clause of the Constitution says that? And what defines a "chemical weapon"?
We can't trust the States to make decisions, because they might not always make the right ones.
Not contagious? How did you catch it then?
