How does Joe Smith's smoking a joint in his living room "harm society itself,"
post #151

Poor little Joe Smith. All he's doing is smoking in his living room. How is he hurting anyone? Why are the jackbooted thugs picking on this poor man?

So, I lied when I quoted your own post? You're trying to paint a picture that is belied by the statistics. I wish the dopers would stay in their living rooms, but they don't.

He never said otherwise. No one here has said that it should be legal to drive under the influence of pot, just as it is not legal to drive under the influence of alcohol. And, as I already pointed out, there are hundreds of thousands of people pulled over every year who have a couple of six packs or a bottle of wine in the back that they are taking home. That's legal, and does not count as public intoxication. But if you are driving home with a bag of pot, that's illegal. So equating possession of pot with use outside the home is a logical fallacy, but you've shown quite a propensity for that, so we're hardly surprised, except for the fact that you are so impressed with yourself for engaging in such.

No, you lied when you said, "all [700,000] of them [2001 possession arrestees] were smoking in their living room, according to MrLeRoy." (You never quoted my post until just now.)

Wrong; I was responding to nicmarlo's claim that "ingest[ing] substances [including marijuana] WILL and DOES harm others in society."
