You are confused little boy. I'm well aware that it is nearly impossible to kill yourself with pot, unless you drop a ton of it on yourself. But so what? Its illegal and potheads should go to jail.
oh yea, because nothing says punishment like free housing,healthcare,
food, and clothing paid for by the tax payer.
Yeah
Because prison is nothing more than free housing, healthcare, food, and clothing paid for by the tax payer.... it's no punishment to have all of your freedoms and liberties taken away, to be confined, etc?
What a piss poor argument or attempt at a counter-point
Here is a dumb question...
Why do We, The People want to restrict the ADULT use of recreational drugs?
I thought freedom was supposed to be precious around here... Shouldn't we be free to be as stupid as evolution allows? Sure if someone gets high and kills someone with their car, they should go to prison, but not for being high.

Hey... let's have a contest... try reading what I fucking wrote....
Did I advocate over drinking?
NO...
I did state, however, that there are benefits to the consumption of occasional alcohol.... this is NEVER and I do mean NEVER the case with even the supposed 'recreational" marijuana... and as stated, use of marijuana next to someone can deliver the person next to you the mind altering effects. This is NOT the case with a glass of wine, a beer, or a shot of Jack
He's too busy thinking up new homoerotic fantasies.
And how many productive and goal oriented stoners do you see?... I mean besides actors, music stars, the occasional NBA player, etc
And there are no lawyers, doctors, politicians, etc who tie one on with a bottle of scotch or a 12 pack of beer
...
I think my point was that it is EXCESS that is the problem, not use. And you still have given no justification for one being legal and the other being criminal.
As for tabacco. I don't think that should have been banned. I think business owners should have the right to choose whether they want a smoking or a non-smoking establishment.
and what pothead ADVOCATES smoking a fucking bong and plowing through a school bus? The FACT remains that OVER drinking happens and IS a fact of it's legal status. End of fucking story. Indeed, I can post benefits of pot consumption to match your glass of wine a day bullshit, dude. Now, if you choose not to acknowledge that evidence.. well.. it's not like your position is standing on solid ground anyway.
GOVERNMENT STUDY OF MARIJUANA SEES MEDICAL BENEFITS
The active ingredients in marijuana appear to be useful for treating pain, nausea and the severe weight loss associated with AIDS, according to a new study commissioned by the Government that is inflaming the contentious debate over whether doctors should be permitted to prescribe the drug.

Column: Health benefits of marijuana outweigh concerns over misuse
Imagine you or someone you love is suffering from a chronic, painful illness. When the pain becomes intolerable, you head to your doctor, begging for something to ease your suffering and restore your quality of life, something to make you feel like your old self again. Your doctor offers you two options: a synthetic, potentially addictive narcotic, or a natural remedy derived from a plant. The choice seems pretty simple until you realize that the first option is the popular painkiller Vicodin, and the second is the illegal drug marijuana.

The medical uses of cannabis
IF CANNABIS were unknown, and bioprospectors were suddenly to find it in some remote mountain crevice, its discovery would no doubt be hailed as a medical breakthrough. Scientists would praise its potential for treating everything from pain to cancer, and marvel at its rich pharmacopoeiamany of whose chemicals mimic vital molecules in the human body. In reality, cannabis has been with humanity for thousands of years and is considered by many governments (notably America's) to be a dangerous drug without utility. Any suggestion that the plant might be medically useful is politically controversial, whatever the science says. It is in this context that, on April 20th, America's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a statement saying that smoked marijuana has no accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
The statement is curious in a number of ways. For one thing, it overlooks a report made in 1999 by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), part of the National Academy of Sciences, which came to a different conclusion. John Benson, a professor of medicine at the University of Nebraska who co-chaired the committee that drew up the report, found some sound scientific information that supports the medical use of marijuana for certain patients for short periodseven for smoked marijuana.

Yea dude.. I mean we ONLY have thousands of fucking ANNUAL DEATHS causes by alcohol... tell me more about that evil pot again while you totally ignore the fucking FACT of M.A.D.D.

Well, DD, I knew a guy that smoked weed when he was having chemo because it gave him the munchies. He'd have not bothered eating otherwise. Of course he is dead now, so those couple of extra months with his children were meaningless.
But please, turn in your libertarian card you fraud. You are worse than any far leftie or far rightie in your quest to decide what someone else should do to their own selves.

...There is valid reasoning behind having drugs (including pot) illegal..
