Marijuana

[Dotard]

I say ban alcohol. You say you THINK marijuana is harmful even in small amounts yet you just said you smoked it a few times and it was a 'pleasant experiance'. You smoked a small amount, no harm done, correct? But then you say you had a bad first encounter with it. What was that bad first encounter? Your ex? That wasn't a bad encounter with pot, that was a bad encounter with a bad person.

It just P's me O that folks can take such a stance against pot and then go on to talk about how can we solve the HORRIFIC problems of alcohol use while keeping it legal and widely available. Alcohol USE is more harmful than marijuana ABUSE if you look at the info available to us.

You admitted you have first hand experiance with the devastation alcohol can bring and you were aware of the positive benefits of marijuana use. So I don't understand how you can maintain your stance against marijuana and not take the same stance with a substance much, much more harmful. Could it be you are a regular alcohol user? I don't know.

Just think if it were required that all leaders of all countries smoke a joint before meeting. Their differances are great and one says "Ah... were going to have to go to war over this!". The other says "Well, hell, that would mean we would have to get up, go over there and push a bunch of buttons and do a boatload of paperwork." First one replies "Yeah, fu*k it, nevermind, pass that joint please."

Ok, that was silly yes, but it makes a point.
