Let me predict how this thread will go:

A couple of anti-WOD folks, (some dopers, some not) will drop by and post the same things they have already posted on 456,899,080 other pot related threads. Then, some pro-WOD folks will post something about how terrible this is and the people in charge should be charged with child abuse, or whatever. Then a doper will post how pot has no harmful effects whatsoever. An anti-doper will post a study that disputes that. The doper will then find the DEA in the footnotes and say the study is discredited and obviously false. The anti-doper will call the doper a "doper." The doper will call the anti-doper a "statist."

Someone will ping the WOD list. Then the anti-WOD people (the same ones who post on every pot thread) will descend like locusts and post the same things they have posted on every other dope thread since James Polk was President.

They will shout down everyone who disagrees with them. The terms "What's your point?" and "Have a study to back that up?" will be used liberally. Finally, the pro-WOD folks will grow weary of the stridence of the ant-WOD crowd and leave.

The anti-WOD crowd will post a few self-congratulatory notes and then migrate to the next WOD ping which appears like the Bat Signal in their "My Comments" list.

Well done sir, well done.

Thank you.

I forgot to add, however, that the particulars of the story will rarely be addressed. Just a bunch of stock, one-size-fits-all phrases from both sides that will fit on virtually any thread.
