I guess not much has changed since Reefer Madness came out.

I guess we haven't progressed as much as I thought

It always mellowed me out.

Yeah, Martin's weed use has been discussed dozens of times by Zimmerman supporters

It's a designed form of charachter assasination, and everybody regardless of political affiliation would do it to further their cause when needed to present a case in court.

Whatever else pot might do it certainly alters one's judgement. That's reason enough for it to be considered relevant here.

The fact that marijuana is used as a character assassination says more about societies view of marijuana than the person they are attacking

The people using marijuana for character assassination are disingenuous and don't really believe their own posts on this matter. They also teach their kids how to shoot and love guns but get bees in their panties when---gasp---a black kid might take an interest in guns. It's not about marijuana or guns, it's about using whatever they can to assassinate someone's character.

So you believe marijuana makes people aggressive, violent, or thuggish?

^^^ Word.

Georgie's brother is now telling anyone who will listen that Trayvon is probably a drug dealer and gun runner. No one would EVER suggest such a thing about a white teenager with the same history.

For that matter, a white teenager would never have been targeted by ol' Georgie.

It does make you violent. Don't you remember that movie Dude Where's My Car where they got high and then shot up the whole block cause they thought they saw aliens?

Or Harold & Kumar where they got high and then robbed a fast food joint? I think it was White Castle.

Or How High where Method Man & Redman got high and then shot up the college campus?

Its a dangerous dangerous drug.

Maybe, but many of the Zimmerman critics are conservative, and a lot of conservatives have a very negative and fearful view of marijuana.
