Sorry, you're not worth it. Especially since I have already made several points in this thread that you refuse to address.

No, I'm done. You can say it makes me look weak if you like, doesn't bother me.

You're actually worse than just a waste of time, as I told you earlier in a very poignant post about my childhood that you refuse to address.

You're such a big part of the problem. At least you realize you are on the losing side. Regardless, you will more than willing to go down with the ship, and spread your damage to your collectively laughing-under-their-breath students for as long as you possibly can.

Yes, I did chuckle quite hard.

Why again is it bad to "control people?" Can you imagine a society in which people aren't controlled? I say "imagine," because we haven't had one yet of any duration that hasn't "controlled people."

Still waiting for an answer: with all the health benefits you and others claim from marijuana, why on earth wouldn't we want medically-administered use of marijuana for children and teens? Or is it harmful for kids but not adults?
As usual, I answered, you ignored. It's like you have blinders on.

I'm holding up quite well in this thread, as you would expect for someone with VASTLY more experience with the subject matter at hand than you. But thanks for your concern.

Not controlling what people do at home on their own time. If I wanna have a drink or a smoke on my day off, maybe sit on my porch or do work on my computer, why not?

The first rule of debating is not to take things personally, I never called you out or responded to one of your post. Until now. Yet whining about people who use pot like myself don’t abuse it nor do they seek out to do something stupid. Yet alcohol abuse runs amock.

Why not everyday? Given all the health benefits it has?

Millions do use it everyday. It has been that way for 50 years. But the vast majority of those users are responsible, hard-working adults who never cross paths with police, homeless shelters, courtrooms, emergency rooms, drug counselors, high school teachers, etc.

So the folks working in those fields get a skewed perception when all they see everyday are people with problems, most of which seem to use cannabis. They start to believe the plant caused it, when in most cases all it did was amplify what was already there.

But for every one of those troubled persons who have marijuana in their history, there are at least 100 more daily users that are responsible, productive citizens who are completely indistinguishable from the responsible, productive non-users. Every single one of them, not to mention law enforcement officers, are placed at risk by prohibition.
