It is intellectually dishonest to even suggest a comparison between the two, but from long experience arguing with Libertarians, I have found that intellectual dishonesty appears to be a ubiquitous trait.

This is quite a hoot coming from someone who breathlessly proclaims marijuana causes all its users to lose the ability to exercise free will and/or turns them into serial killers.

I actually like when you post to WOD threads because you do far more harm to your cause than good.

So, in all seriousness, please keep posting away.

Well now see there, you have a reading comprehension problem. I've been arguing this topic for quite a long time on Free Republic, and I don't believe I ever said that Marijuana "causes *ALL* it's users to lose the ability to exercise free will and/or turns them into serial killers."

It just does it to a lot of people who may not have had a very good grasp on reality in the first place. I'm sure there are some that can handle it without ill consequences, but we don't make speed limit signs for race car drivers, we make them for ordinary people who can't properly handle high speed turns.

The evidence appears conclusive to me that marijuana screws up a significant portion of the people who use it and this does not even address the fact that it often functions as a gateway for harder and more dangerous drugs.

I have a two sided idea of how to deal with social problems. If you cannot make them better, make them worse. They will then solve themselves.

So, in all seriousness, please keep posting away.

No worries, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. I always thought I was of average intelligence, but arguing with Libertarian pot-heads makes me feel like a freakin genius. :)
