Good point. Let's not forget Bill Clinton eulogizing Senator Robert Byrd (D):

"I'll tell you what it means. He was a country boy from the hills and hollers of West Virginia, he was trying to get elected. And maybe he did something he shouldn't have done, and he spent the rest of his life making it up. And that's what a good person does. There are no perfect people. There are certainly no perfect politicians."

See, you can rationalize anything to stay in power.

and you're an AC. Somehow I'm not worried about your opinion you narcissistic waste of electrons.

Seriously, you're a moron.

Guess they couldn't hack those eugenics associations, like you Democrats.

How dare you question settled science! Denier!

I've not decided anything. However, I find it interesting that you're couching this discussion as though I'm some enemy. Reading your own quotes above, it appears the same relevant risks are there for cancer with marijuana. I simply pointed this fact out. I'm sure levels of cyanide are acceptable too in a diet. You choose the amount that you can take, fine.

Really, double-dog dare? Hilarious.

Short of employing violence, how do you think this is even possible? To what level of misuse does someone have to reach until you agree with removing privileges such as driving?

Because obviously we're all here for you, mate.

Oh sorry, I thought keeping society safe isn't part of your agenda. Got it.

I agree with your conclusion. However, only two of my eight family members killed by drunk drivers were minors, so think of the one-quarter children.

Drunk drivers say the same thing up till the point where they murder someone with an automobile. Then they whine that no one understands them.

Peer reviewed, I assume?

There are stories on both sides of the aisle. My grandfather was dying of fatal painful colon cancer when the doctor refused to give him any more morphine because the federal regulations indicted he would be considered an addict at that point of consumption. I doubt marijuana would have helped him there but I empathize with people in those positions.

Agreed. I think a "War on Drug Users" and a "War that Enables Free Confiscation of US Citizens' Property" are more appropriate labels. If it were a war on drugs we would take strike teams to the cartel members (Mexican government?) and remove the source. The US populace wouldn't have known about the largest meth lab in the world sitting 100 miles south of San Diego for two decades. Sigh.
