He is no different than a man who stops off at his buddy's house for a joint. He can do it in moderation and be safe...
though drinking even 1 beer and driving is certainly not as safe as puffing a joint and driving and that's a proven fact.
Plus, a man can easily get drunk that way...stopping off at a bar on the way home from work is how many people get DUIs.

You do realize that many who obtain marijuana for "medical" purposes aren't even using it for that. If someone needs to smoke that junk to make things less boring or more entertaining, he or she needs to have a life. Stop with the artificial living and try some real life.

I had a friend who died of cancer a few years ago. He was diagnosed about 10 years before with a brain tumor and was given the choice of being prescribed marijuana to help with his nausea and appetite issues or to simply suffer and die because he couldn't eat or hold food down. He chose marijuana and lived another 10 years, the doctors said it was solely the result of his marijuana usage that he was able to survive.
Plus, I wasn't actually talking about Rx Marijuana, as we know that Rx drugs have tons of different uses, abuses and some have killed THOUSANDS. Like
Vioxx...that was legal, but I don't see you posting in any threads about how it's wrong, now do I?
Do you eat
partially hydrogenated corn oil or other trans fats? Well, that's not very natural and causes cancer and obesity and countless public health issues, as well as increasing MY healthcare costs because fatties can't eat healthy.
I'll leave this portion of the argument with a quote from a movie:
"Weed is from the earth.
God put this here for me and you.
Take advantage man, take advantage"
You do realize that you're advocating for making a natural plant illegal while you're totally fine with legalized drugs which are made with unnatural chemicals and which kill thousands every year.

Do you really believe all the nonsense you just posted?

Well, I actually posted facts, information and logical statements of truth. You posted one anecdotal article from 16+ years ago which is one of the most easily refuted arguments in the history of political discussions.
Try actually refuting my statements with facts. I know facts are difficult for someone like you to understand, but they actually matter when you're trying to make bold statements like the ones you've made.
And seriously, how can anyone actually like Fox "News"? It's like the fake broadcasts from Robocop or Starship Troopers, nobody can possibly take it seriously, can they?
