Heh. Agreed.

It was, originally. Anyway, I'm not really dying, they just tell me I am every so often. Hasn't happened yet.

No.

You are a fool.

And on a more personal note, since I am certain someone will make reference to this fact: I am dying of cancer myself and smoking marijuana could theoretically alleviate my nausea and allow me to consume solid nutrition, but the facts of the law make such exceptions improvident. Despite any possible improvement in my own health I cannot and will not support this idea.

Stating that a third party's sarcasm was "not improbable" is a far cry from proposing such a theory myself.

I have addressed this issue in the past. Speaking as a medical doctor, a law enforcement officer, and a military officer, I will again state that the control of potentially behavior-altering substances with medical uses is a very dangerous slope. As a doctor I do not want to deny anyone the right to alleviate pain or prolong life. As a law enforcement officer I consider it at best ineffective and at worst counterproductive to investigate what is essentially a victimless crime; it makes approximately as much sense as punishing people who attempt to commit suicide. And as a military officer I disapprove of wasting resources by arresting or imprisoning the sick. And finally, as an ideological libertarian, I believe that people have the right to ingest any and all substances for any and all reasons.

And, as usual, Vyce nails it.

I do not recall suggesting such a theory at any point.

Yes.

When I Grow Up

I am uncertain as to why you have continued to attempt to instigate personal conflicts with me when it should be obvious that I have no interest in elevating your perceived "messageboard status" by engaging you on any level, although that is clearly your goal.

Your appraisal is shortsighted and foolish. I agree that marijuana should be completely legal; however, making any exception to its criminalization is an extremely bad idea.

Certainly. I am unfamiliar with this lecture. However, Eric is apparently in the habit of judging ideas based on his own preconceptions.

Neither I nor most other law enforcement officers would oppose that. Criminalizing marijuana is only a marginally less bad idea than allowing it for medical purposes only.

Medical marijuana is a horribly bad idea. Either you ban the drug or you don't.

The sun makes ozone. Next "problem."

Europeans have no concept of moderation. For all the talk of the United States being the "Great Satan," Mohammedans had better watch out for the Europeans more. Unfortunately, we probably won't butcher them until they do something staggeringly horrible. The Europeans will, at the drop of a hat. It's in their nature.

I actually agree with Milky on this one. If you're going to carry a gun, be absolutely fucking CERTAIN that you're prepared to kill another human being. Don't screw around on this.

My daddy's just been offered a DoS position which I've been trying to get him to decline.

Yes, many people. Though usually not more than once. This is possible.
