I already showed the opposite is true.

You didn't show any such thing as I clearly and irrefutably explained why your conclusion was false.

California has had medical marijuana since 1993

And California is a disaster and we aren't talking about medical marijuana, we have talking about recreational marijuana throughout this entire dialectic.

Two states have totaly legalized it.

first of all, those states are in violation of federal law as are the states that have legalized it for medical use. Secondly, as use has increased , so has the incidence of vehicle fatalities involving drugged drivers.

The use of this weed in the US is enormous and getting bigger.

Yes, and the country is doing so much better because of the increase in drug addiction. So are ALL THOSE DRUG ADDICTS.

The only things standing in the way are ignorance and fear.

I prefer to call it rational and sober minded people.

You actually believe something that will kill you is less dangerous than something that won't?

You didn't "clearly and irrefutably" explain anything. You offered no facts, no studies, no statements by academics or scientists. The only thing you did was spew your opinion -- about the evil weed genie.

I suppose I should take your opinion over the scientific facts published by the CDC?

From your link: "A separate study — also based on FARS data — found that in states where medical marijuana was approved, traffic fatalities decrease by as much as 11 percent during the first year after legalization. [...] Those authors theorized pot, for some, becomes a substitute for alcohol. They cited a recent, 13-percent drop in drunk-driving deaths in states where medical marijuana is legal."

Yes, and the country is doing so much better because of the increase in drug addiction.

What "increase in drug addiction"?

Rational and sober minded enough to fall into the same basic fallacy as those who think they can stop criminal shootings by banning guns.

first of all, those states[CO and WA] are in violation of federal law as are the states that have legalized it for medical use.

Do you support the 10th Amendment prerogative of states to carry out those policies? Or would you have fedgov close them down?
