I would like to ask why anti-marijuana people think users of marijuana should face criminal charges.

I don't care either way but don't start with "natural occurring". Most poisons are naturally occurring including nicotine and arsenic. So if you're going to talk about how great pot is, leave the natural occurring part out. It means nothing. BTW, that apple you ate had seeds loaded with arsenic

And they also aren't loaded. The worst you'll get from eating an apple seed (or even a few) is a stomach ache.

But to your point, yeah, the 'natural' thing is meaningless. The more important things are 1) none of anyone else's business and 2) not harmful for the most part.

He had a disease.

All intoxicants should be banned.

Thanks for the clarification.

His disease has blinded you. History has shown us that prohibition of intoxicants does not work, and in fact actually makes the problem worse. In your rage you have lost the ability to learn from history.

Look at the cost to society that using dope brings.

It's criminal. Ban the crap and issue harsh penalties.

That is EXACTLY how the well-meaning citizens from before alcohol prohibition felt. The destruction to families that alcohol was causing was terrible. Banning it was only logical.

But they soon discovered that banning it didn't stop people from getting it and using it, plus it created an entire organized crime industry. Almost every reason the prohibitionists had for wanting it banned worsened.

In my opinion, that's the part you'll never get because you have a mental block due to your brother's disease.
