So in your mind ()
Domestic tranquility= Banning plants, cavity searches, no knock warrants, prison, fines, seizure of assets, militarization of police depts....

You are full of it.

Yeah, shaking down citizens for what they choose to put in their bodies is really insuring domestic tranquility. Good to see that others like yourself get it in regards to the drug war being un-Constitutional and more people are starting to get it as well.

Boy, did you nail that one!

And it makes perfect sense to me, because I am absolutely convinced that Finn is somehow connected with law enforcement.

Thanks for sharing your personal take on it.

Too many people have been hoodwinked and too many lives ruined due to prohibition.
Of course you can. Does the Constitution ban nuclear materials? No, and why should it.

You are the one who voted against legalization.

Listen to yourself.

That argument would render all law enforcement unconstitutional, which is why is makes no sense.

Agreed, texting and driving should be banned. Doesn't make other substances any less dangerous.

Pot use up.....

Disorders down.

Bother reading your own linked study?

However, the prevalence of marijuana use disorder among marijuana users decreased significantly from 2001-2002 (35.6%; SE, 1.37) to 2012-2013 (30.6%; SE, 1.04).

Yes, and if you bother reading the OP, or thinking about it you would know this:

And then they celebrate by saying ""The prevalence of marijuana use disorder among marijuana users decreased significantly from 2001-2013," from 35.6 percent of users to 30.6."

Lets get this straight: 10 years ago you had 1000 users, 350 of then had marijuana related disorders, and today you have 2000 users and 600 people with disorders, and that's somehow a good thing? Number of people with disorders nearly doubled.
