I'll leave it up to any other readers to tally up the unsupported claims in that comment you just made. There are at least three that I can plainly see in just that one comment of yours that are completely counter to reality.

Since you seem to love the sound of your own words, go ahead and say something else stupid that is counter to reality. I'll let you have the last word again as I'm tired of your nonsense. Should you ever decide to let up on your trolling and try an actual discussion, you know where to find me.

You are consistently not reading what I write, that is clear.

I'm not squirming. I have held a consistent position and you have consistently not bothered to read it. I'm sorry you keep coming here and making yourself look like such an idiot.

If you can't spare the effort of reading a comment before replying to it, there is no reason to attempt a discussion with you. Come back when you read what I say before you just spew out what you want to say about me.

I've dealt with stoned people before who I am perfectly fine associating with when they are sober, but I find obnoxious when they're stoned. I don't give a damn how stoned they want to be when they are alone, but they don't have any more of a right to interfere with society than any person under any other substance. Just because they aren't violent - and not every drunk is violent, either - doesn't mean they need to be welcomed into society.

And you know I don't support outlawing pot. I have said that many times. I want to see it treated exactly the same as alcohol.

Infant mortality rate was higher, some survived, but many more didn't. Infant mortality is still high in countries with poor access to modern healthcare services, and was also in the most developed countries until not too many decades ago.

I have a problem when people who are under the influence go out and interfere with non-intoxicated society.

That is not and never has been one of pot's effects. You're describing alcohol, not pot. Why not outlaw beer? Sorry, dude, but your stand is illogical, irrational, and ignorant.

It sounds like someone is trying to force a company to transport a good to a customer. That sounds counter to the free market as I understand it. Under a free market isn't a company free to turn down any business they don't want to be involved with? If FedEx doesn't want to handle and deliver this product, why are people trying to force them to?

Too bad you didn't actually read what I wrote, or you could have spared yourself the embarrassment of writing that comment. I could point out to you how wrong you are, but if you didn't read it the first time why would I expect you to read it later?

Go on, say something else stupid and fact-free; I'll let you have the last word.

I believe I've said this before, but I'll rephrase it. If my neighbor wants to get stoned at home and stay home, I don't care. Hell he can do heroin, coke, whatever he wants at home as long as he stays home. I don't care if he uses a combination of different recreational drugs as long as he stays home.

I have a problem when people who are under the influence go out and interfere with non-intoxicated society. If someone has too much to drink and goes out wandering around they can expect to be charged with drunk in public, if they are stupid enough to attempt to drive a car they get DUI. I want to see the same for all recreational drugs. At that point, we would truly be treating them all the same.

The Pro Pot Propaganda Pushers should support this if they really want pot treated the same as alcohol. Instead we have many people who want pot treated more like water than like alcohol.

I believe I have also stated before that what I want to see is a reliable and quantifiable test for when someone has had too much to be out in public. Again, this is what we do with alcohol - I want to see it for any recreational drug that we legalize for general consumption.

Coincidentally, I saw this JE this morning right after seeing a report on CBS's morning news program that said that marijuana is by far the least dangerous of all recreational drugs. They found the most dangerous was alcohol, followed by heroin, followed by cocaine. I did a quick search, it doesn't look like they've posted it to their web site.

I've found an incredible amount of misinformation about marijuana. This article says "Those who might remember pot from the 70s - the marijuana grown and sold in Colorado today is up to 10 times stronger."

The difference isn't strength of the pot, it's how its potency is measured and how pot is and was sold. They take the pot, grind up the entire bag and test it.

Today, pot is grown indoors so it has no seeds, and only the buds are sold. In the seventies, they put the whole plant; stems, seeds, leaves and all. Leaves are far less potent than buds, stems have very little THC and seeds have none at all, and the seeds are heavy. I saw pot in the '70s that the seeds were more than half the weight of the bag. So grinding up the whole bag would indicate that it's 10 times stronger, when stoners always threw the stems and seeds away and usually saved the bud for the weekend.

The best pot I ever smoked was in Thailand in 1973-4.

Now, even if pot wasn't the safest of all recreational drugs, even if it were the deadliest, how does your neighbor getting stoned affect you or society at large?

There's a chapter in a book that was required reading in a college history class in the late '70s that shows how incredibly moronic prohibition is. Alcohol and Al Capone

Look at Mexico and Columbia. Prohibition is purely stupidly evil.

True, you need no purpose. I don't care that you have none, but the lack of a purpose does make you look rather ridiculous.

True, but by never backing anything up you end up supporting the hypothesis that nothing you write comes with any sincerity at all

Considering how often you write replies to what I write - particularly since you reply to what I write without reading what I write - you can't make much of an argument for not caring.

Projection? Nonsense. I read your comment. It had nothing to do with what I wrote. Pointing that out is not a projection.

I don't force you to write comments in reply to what I write here. You should ask yourself why you are writing comments to me, when you can't be bothered to ever back up anything that you claim to believe in. You are likely the best candidate we have currently on slashdot for a "refined troll".
