Medicinal use of MJ is where the conversation on it's use needs to start and end. Otherwise, it has no value to society as a whole.
I actually agree with that. I wouldn't argue that we wouldn't be better off without it. The difference between us is however that you seem to think making it illegal causes it to go away.We can't make it go away. What we have to do is decide on the best way to manage it. I'm saying that you can't simply pass a law and stick your head in the sand acting like you solved the problem.
Stick my head in the sand? I'm not the one that smoked an ounce a week for ten years. Respectfully.
Really great Christian attitude there wanting to judge me by something you know I said I quit over 19 years ago. Nothing respectful about that.
The sticking your head in the sand is your thinking the problem is fixed because you make it illegal,but you already know that. You don't have a good argument so you resorted to questioning my character. I really expected better from you.
Did you notice the "respectfully"? Not trying to cut you down, but be frank, why did you smoke that much pot for ten years? Isn't it an escape mechanism?
Yes,it's an escape mechanism. I've already agreed with you that everyone who recreationally uses pot would be better off without it,just like people who use alcohol and tobacco would be better off without it. That's not the question that needs to be answered though. I've repeatedly said,and you know it's true that we aren't going to be able to get rid of it or stop people from using it by making it illegal.The question then becomes how do you manage it so that it does the least amount of harm and the most good. Until you are ready to have that conversation,then you really are sticking your head in the sand,respectfully.
