You support $3B in reparations for "victims of the war on drugs" too? Because that was also in this bill

If you support the immediate release of any incarcerated for possession on time of legalization, then you should also support the reimbursement of fines for marijuana possession. I don’t know about 3 billion, but it seems only fair

Hot off the presses for you legalize folks. You may or may not hear about the killing of 4 people in Stone County Arkansas yesterday. It was 3 or 4 miles from my parent's house. Two of those killed were neighbors of the father of my parent's next door neighbor.

Story is 40 something year old druggie son was living with his 70 something parents who refused to give him money for more drugs, so he shot and killed both of them. The assumption is he went to another neighbor to borrow/rob them, and shot and killed both of them. They were in their 70's as well.

They are telling everyone in the area to lock their doors, because they don't know if he had an accomplice.

FREEDOM!

ETA: How about that. None of the libertarian types want to talk about this aspect of drug addiction.
Convincing. Now do a similar sensational story using alcohol. FREEDOM

And what if guns were banned? What would the druggie have done then? Would we have avoided the incident entirely? Oh wait, I forgot - it's illegal to use guns to kill people to get their money, despite the fact that owning a gun is illegal.

The person I've been talking to wants everything decriminalized, so we weren't talking about pot specifically. Doesn't really matter if it is clinically addictive, it is psychologically addictive.

My brother has been a pothead for 40+ years. He has raised worthless druggie children who have produced more children that they do not provide for. He has stolen thousands of dollars from his own parents to support his habit. Don't even begin to tell me how harmless, or what a wonder drug pot is. 98% of it is utter bullshite.

You won't find me defending alcohol either, Scooter. At 2 weeks old, a drunk driver hit my parents nearly head on, and crushed the right side of my sister's skull. She's nearly 60 years old now, and has the mentality of a 5 year old. FREEDOM!

Right. Let's talk about something other than why the druggie was willing to kill 4 people.

Pot causes far more issues than its advocates want to admit. issues that decriminalizing can't solve. At least until possession of it becomes a human right, and the government has to provide it for them.

It's a fact that he's a piece of shite. No argument. And nobody is blaming pot. It's just that the possession of, or the pursuit of more and better pot is very nearly the singular motivating factor in his life, and it's been that way since he was 15.

I don't think it causes any more issues than pretty much any other mind altering substance and a fair amount of the food we eat when consumed in moderation. And its not any more or less psychologically addictive while being not at all addictive physically.

If you can't tell the difference between an argument and an accusation that explains a lot.

I obviously disagree. Back in high school in the 80's, I knew several guys who would steal cigarettes from the convenience stores to sell, so they could buy a quarter. When you're a piece of shite, it just gets worse from there.

And yet, alcohol is legal.

It's just bizarre that you won't even entertain the notion that banned substances/items don't actually stop druggies/killers from doing anything. And you seem to want assign the straw man to me that drugs are "good".

We could insert almost literally any vice into your poor sister's story and have similar results - and I doubt you would want to ban anything. Like, a big fat arse who crammed himself with sugar and shite for decades and had a massive coronary behind the wheel and caused the same accident. Let's ban sugar, right? Right?

Even if true, bizarre that it's irrelevant to you that it has been illegal that entire time. I wonder how much less destructive his behavior would have been if he could have simply purchased it at a shop.

Well, you're just a pothead.

Bow before my iron-clad "argument", because accusations are arguments in your world.

Seems like it's pretty much de facto legal just about everywhere it's not explicitly so, at this point, no?
