BH: "your solution to the inherent risk of marijuana is that you choose to make it legal, rather than making both illegal thus increasing the cumulative risk to society."

RB: "No, actually that is not what I said, You continue to miss what I said. Let me repost from just the last post."

Unless you are now retracting your original statement, I don't give two hoots in hell what you said in your last post. Your orginal statement said just what I summarized above. Since you so conveniently wish to forget your original statement, I quote it for you here. Read it, study it and then have the honesty to either stand by it or retract it, but my summary of it stands as accurate.

"Marijuana is safer, less addictive and less of a high than alcohol. Since alcohol is legal, its only logical to make marijuana legal as well." -- rb22982 at post #237

You want to play childish word games? Go play with someone else. You want to have an intellectual exchange of ideas? Then drop the goofy game playing like you displayed above. Your choice.

Of course you ignore the rest of the post, but whatever. I'll give you this from a small standpoint. I have said in the past (not on this thread) that the only way would be to make marijuana illegal or to criminalize alcohol.

The reason I didn't state it as such that way is because 1)No one is calling for a return of the 18th amendment (ie no one is asking to outlaw alcohol) 2) most conservatives cringe at the thought of criminalizing their drugs--alcohol and nicotine. Under this basic assumption, I made my statement.

I'd still like to see a response to the majority of my post (if you can), and would still like some (logical) reasons to make marijuana illegal from a medical, uses & economical standpoint.

Basically your entire arguement comes down to, that everything I've said on everything about it from medical, economical, history, etc is wrong because there was one other way to be consistant--even though no one is calling for that.
