Why do you consider me stating the facts from your comments to be “baseless personal attacks?” You admit that you favor legalizing pot. You blithely champion it’s legalization with breezy, inane, and insouciant comments as an amelioration of the social problems we already have. I’d say you yourself are the main person making personal attack on you that you should be worried about. Besides being a champion of adults being allowed to get stoned and be dopy, what other conservative causes do you believe in? Seriously, how does your pro-dope outlook fit with a conservative worldview?

Unfortunately, today’s pot is much stronger than it was thirty years ago,

That just means it takes less unhealthy smoke to get the same effect.

the abuse of it is starting at an earlier age

Since well before any state had legalized pot, teens have reported that they could get it more easily than beer or cigarettes ... which is to be expected since legal sellers card and illegal sellers don't.

I get that you’re happy that pots stronger

There is no reason to be unhappy about it, given the undisputed fact that it means it takes less unhealthy smoke to get the same effect. Or are you a big fan of lung disease?

and that it’s easy for kids to get. You seem like an advocate for strong pot and stoned kids, or at least indifferent to the consequences.

As I have shown, legalization for adults would mean fewer stoned kids.

Have anything - other than baseless personal attacks - to say about the points I made?

Why do you consider me stating the facts from your comments to be “baseless personal attacks?”

This statement of yours is not a "fact" but a baseless personal attack: "you’re happy that pots [...] easy for kids to get."

You admit that you favor legalizing pot. You blithely champion it’s legalization with breezy, inane, and insouciant

Your tendentious adjectives are also not "facts."

comments as an amelioration of the social problems we already have.

Where did I say legalization would be an amelioration of any social problem? Your debate is with the voices in your head - maybe medicinal marijuana would help with that.

Besides being a champion of adults being allowed to get stoned and be dopy, what other conservative causes do you believe in?

Seriously, how does your pro-dope outlook fit with a conservative worldview?

Legalization - which is no more "pro-dope" than legal alcohol is "pro-booze" - is pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, and pro-freedom - all of which are FR conservative values.
