Okay, then you can take a look at this logistic growth curve.
Or this one.

No. It's not and my body knows the difference.
C6 H12 O6 + C6 H12 O6 => C12 H22 O11 + H2O
glucose + fructose => sucrose + water.
Once ingested any of them trigger an insulin reaction which causes you to store fat.
Not if your body burns it. Back in the 50's foods used real sugars and not aspartame or high fructose corn syrup. Few were fat in the 50's.
You dopers will go to any lengths to justify use. Sugar doesn't change your brain chemistry, pot does.
I don't need to use pot to hide from life. If you do, you have my sympathy.
Have a blessed, pot free day.
I said up, not above expectations...
I guess my point is, I myself would rather see the state collecting the tax revenue, instead of spending other tax revenue reliving prohibition, prosecuting the war on drugs and incarcerating people for a plant that grows from a seed... somehow mankind managed to survive with it legal for almost 2000 years, it’s only been illegal for about 70 now.
My grandfather told me I could find the answer to all questions man had in the bible... Strangely enough, my reading of it, and looking for that answer said a lot more against alcohol than it does cannabis... There is one verse that says all plants are good. I am not saying Jesus smoked weed, but he very well may have ate it or used it medically and have seen arguments made it was even used in holy anointing oils.
You aren’t grasping my point. A government can afford some loss of population. At some level of loss, NO GOVERNMENT can afford it.
At some point it becomes a national security issue. Any government which cannot or will not insure it’s own survival will be replaced by one which will.
OMG, people making poor choices and sitting around, giggling, munching, and doing nothing productive will lead to a mass casualty event that will drop the population below some bureaucrat’s comfort threshold! So we have to put up with police harassment, asset forfeiture, fines, and imprisonment while the true parasite class in government runs roughshod over all of us.
Your worried about pot while the CIA is profiting from heroin and cocaine. We invaded Afghanistan only to see it turned into the largest producer of heroin while we occupied it. The Mexican drug cartels have effective control of our southern border and your worried about laws that do nothing but enslave Americans and keep drug prices high?
Has your enforcement policies done anything positive?
I say legalize it, tax it, and stigmatize it. Look, cigarette smoking is way down in this country. If the US had made tobacco illegal then about 90% of the population be smoking it just to tell the government piss off. However we kept it legal stigmatized it, and taxed it till prices are punitive and it’s been dropping steadily for decades - that’s the way to go.
Now as for you, go out and regulate.

I am not going to bother with you further. You don’t want to understand what i’m saying.
I have to disagree, I totally do get your point - you’re all about control as long as it will “save the children. “. Where in the Constitution does it say “these god-given rights are all dependent upon the needs of the government to have citizens act as viable economic units”?
No, you don’t get the point. There are mathematical certainties behind it, and I don’t think you even realize this. As with all Libertarians, your understanding does not exceed your own life experience.
I am not a libertarian. I believe in Limited government. The big bloated nanny state government telling everyone what to do is the worst recipe for prosperity and freedom ever devised.
And just because I don’t agree with you does not mean I don’t know how to do math. You argue like a liberal.
