Whether it is harmless or not is 100% IRRELEVANT! What is relevant is that it is none of your or the state's business who drinks, smokes, snorts, pops or injects what.

That's The Point! The "a points" are obfuscations.

"No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him." --Thomas Jefferson to Francis Gilmer, 1816. ME 15:24

If you think you've been harmed by a person's drug possession take the person to court and do your best to prove to an impartial jury that you had been hammed by that. You'd be lucky to convince a third of the jurors that you had been harmed by the defendant -- let alone convince all twelve jurors, which you'd need to obtain a guilty verdict.

Some people on this forum want to impose their communitarian beliefs on people by initiating force, threat of force or fraud against people or enlist government agents to initiate force, threat of force and fraud on their behalf.

Tell it to the judge.

"Marijuana sends more teens into treatment than any other illicit drug. Sixty percent of teens currently in drug treatment are there because of marijuana."

Marijuana Courts and judges send more teens into treatment than any other illicit drug. Sixty percent of teens currently in drug treatment are there because of marijuana the courts.

"Frequent and long term users or marijuana tend to make wild, baseless and unsubstantiated claims about the hazards of marijuana use. This is apparently caused by a deep feeling of guilt for having deceived themselves for short periods when they were not under the influence of marijuana."

I read that in print right here on FR, a reliable source, and I agree with its contents. Therefore it must be true and irrefutable.

ROTFLMAO!

Read the constitution and "see that it is none of your or the state's business who drinks, smokes, snorts, pops or injects what."

The whole article you posted is sourceless and citeless. It makes numerouse assertions but supports none of them. It seems that since you agree with those assertions you take it as gospel. But any poster who disagrees gets your mindless cite? reply.
Therefore my assertion that you are a hypocrite. We can let the readers of this thread decide if my assertion is accurate.

It is accurate.

Even Marijuana News only claims that half of the kids in treatment are there by court order.

"Experts agree that marijuana puts kids at risk. It's harmful to young bodies and minds that are still developing. Marijuana affects the brain and can impair mental health, leading to increased depression and anxiety. Some health risks associated with smoking marijuana are similar to those posed by tobacco. "

"Kids who use marijuana regularly show a decrease in academic achievement. Even short-term marijuana use has been proven to cause problems with memory, learning, cognitive development and problem solving."

Shhhhh don't tell that to the dopes on FR. When you do encounter one of them pushing for legalization, you will notice that they have the symptoms described above. It's almost as if they are brain dead.

Drugs should be a "natural selection" mechanism for kids?

Just as playing in traffic, hiding under a tree in a thunder storm, swimming too soon after eating, playing with sharp instruments, etc. The "Really bright kids" may try all of these things as well as some legal and illegal drugs but they stop when they know they have reached their limits. Others suffer the consequences. Many drugs occur naturally and are available. Others are supplied by our society. "Really bright kids" know what to do when these drugs appear in their lives.

"Kids who try it learn that they get more honesty from their drug dealer than from cops and politicians."

Hilarious! An honest drug dealing! A drug dealer who will level with kids on the harm of the drug. Yeah, right. Any legitimate cop will also echo the harm of this drug as well as an honest politician. It is the dishonest ones that agree with you. And you are VERY DISHONEST. It's certainly not a mystery to me that you are a dope. It shows in what you write. Dope.
