It won't be accepted because it's not logical and totally incomplete. It's seeing only what you want to see and ignoring the rest, so anyone with a brain can't accept it. You shouldn't either.

That can't really be compared. Not everyone who consumes alcohol intends to get drunk. But the purpose for consuming marijuana is to get high. But, yes, being a drunkard is also indicates weak-minded and weak-willed. And many people certainly do become drunks to try and escape reality.

I don't consume either, so you can stop smacking yourself.

Here's some interesting information.
The Biggest Game In Town: Walter Burien And Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports

quote:
For instance, (over 1%) or 1 out of every 100 Americans are in prison. That’s 3 million plus people! That’s more than any other country in the world, including Korea and Communist China. Many prisons are now built or owned by private companies like Halliburton, since this industry was deregulated and private corporations are now allowed to build and maintain prisons. It’s big business… and cheap forced labor. And the government owns these corporations as well, through collective investment.

Yes, for some, facts and data are not logical and are totally incomplete because it contradicts their opinion and their claims. You can continue to deny facts and data, but you will just look silly.

It's neither good or bad? Where did you get that from?
There are two kinds of recreation... healthy and unhealthy. It's YOUR choice. I already know what I choose.

No, you are missing the point. You see "mj leads to...." when that isn't complete. It's not at all. What leads to mj? What leads to .... when mj is absent? How does removing mj solve the .... problem? Can we remove it? (hint: no). Are there problems with ongoing, loosing battle removeming it and escalating enforcements? (hint: yes).

You have to decide what the end game final result that you want is. Not a pie in the sky perfect world result, a real, practical result. If it's less crime, help for addicts, fewer "criminals" who really aren't, then you come to one conclusion. If it's just to punish everyone who does things you don't like then realize you can destroy society by following your dream. There are some who can't get past their dream, and they are dangerous to everyone.

that is no boubt the weakest argument ever,!!!!!> about some people who drink alcohol don't drink to get high.. drunk and high are the same thing.. i personaly smoke lower grad weed!!!! would that not be the same thing that you just stated..

if i drink 4 heineken beers i would be higher than the weed i smoke


keep the weak aguments coming...

remember now drunk and high are the same thing buddy..

the biggest diffence beetween alcohol and pot is if i just keep smoking joint after joint i would just give myself a headache,!! where as if i drink say heineken beer one after another i will just keep getting higher and higher the more i drink, of course i can speak with experience and you cant because you have never done both..

me and 4 friends went camping about a month ago, 4 smoke pot and one of them drank alcohol. the one who drank beer and grey goose vodka was falling down drunk while me and the other friends that only smoked weed were the same as when we went to the campout not even barely recognizabaly high..

so keep spewing your propagand buddy!!! but face it you people are becoming far and between, people are waking up,!!!>> thanks to the internet...

No, there are two types of recreation; what you choose and what others choose. Recreation by definition is healthy. You can choose what is healthy for YOU, but you cannot choose what is healthy for me. And I also already know what I choose (without your unnecessary help). Your choice might be deadly for someone else, so don't try to play God and tell others what recreation is good for them.

Lies. Consuming pot and alcohol are identical in terms of control and objective. Just like you can have only one beer, you can have only one hit. Drunk and high are not black and white. Both are varying degrees on a scale.

Also, many people go fishing or play golf to escape reality. Are they also "week minded"?

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, citizens thinking critically and taking the laws into their own hands. The longest and costliest war in US history is a failure and was launched by lies and propaganda. There is no excuse for it's support anymore.
Where is an actual article substantiating this feel good story? The link on your page just goes to another story by a still anonymous defense attorney...
