You are assuming that the government would allow more than 1 strain to be purchaced.

Dane will have to come up with a Clintonesque: "I sold, but I didn't 'deal.'" kind of statement. ANyone who was a serious enough user to have it become a "problem" surely sold on occation.

Or he could just be making it all up.

If you want to go on anecdotal evidence, I know several people who would be wake and bakes in college but now don't even touch the stuff. Nothing has changed but those people's ages and responsibilities.

Why not? It would be another source of money for capitalist companies who can make a buck off it. I would be surprised if there were not several large tobacco companies who would give up the evil weed for the good weed entirely.

I've yet to see and drug hegemonists in Gen X or later.

Our generation's job is unscrewing the country after the Boomers get through screwing it.

He probably won't answer at all, he has trying to evade. It shows cowardice in addition to his other moral failings. All this from the guy who has been lecturing everyone for three or four years about the evils of drug usage. This kind of person induces vomiting.

Negative side effects of smoking. You can not say that smoking anything, is good for your health. The only way to completely minimize the negative effects is to injest THC directly skipping the smoking completely.

That is precisely correct.

Why not indeed. It's just that some people are skittish about commercialization. And there are some precedents: In some European countries, wine production is heavily regulated and taxed, except at wine taverns on a vinyard property. Pot commerce could be kept similarly low key. Besides which, being a Federalist, I would allow states and localities to continue to make selling pot illegal.

I am sure some people though the end of Prohibition would be the end of the world, too.

Dammit! You stole my line, I was going to go back and change it to "no need for ipecac syrup with people like you around". But I figured this goof wouldn't know about legal drugs that make you puke. :-)

Why wouldn't they? I can go buy a pack of Marlboro's, Camels, Winstons, Pall Malls, Kools, Newports, Benson and Hedges, and a countless amount of genaric packs of cigs at a time, as well as Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Absolut, Seagrams, Bacardi, etc. Why on earth would they limit the amount of strains you can buy at a time, or why would they only produce 1-3?

You think that with each post you get further and further away from answering #195, but it won't work.

LOL! Still embarassed about the self portrait you posted about yourself in reply #195.
