Whoa! Why so touchy?

I have NEVER claimed that all people who disagree with me are druggies. There have proven to be SOME that are, but claiming that I call anyone that disagrees me a druggie is a misunderstanding or just plain making stuff up.

Just think how smart those ten people would have been WITHOUT the poison in their bodies.

I probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Anything smarter than myself is genius.

It's really humbling to not understand something. Sometimes I feel ashamed even and I know I gotta get over that.

Reminds me of the scene in "Tommy" where disciples are being taught pinball.

Well, judging by your past words anyone who sympathizes with legalization is a "druggie". Correct me if I am wrong, please.

The point being missed by some is that marijuana has never been touted as being necessary for life or nutrition for young adults or even adults. If some segment of the population IS promoting it that way, then I would certainly take issue with that.

It's akin to the other vices humans indulge in, and it is a good thing and benefit to fully understand the physical ramifications of ingesting it so that the risks and benefits can be objectively weighed, hopefully rid ourselves of the history of morality based prejudice and the misinformation of ignorance.

It is only recently that formal studies have begun. That has been a result of decriminalizing and legalizing marijuana. This change toward studying the effects has required > a generation.

Who's ok with THAT?

You're wrong. A misunderstanding. Druggies are druggies. Someone is not a druggie just because they disagree with me.

Very interesting how people intentionally misrepresent me. Just trying to get me riled I suppose.

If it is prescribed by a legitimate doctor as a legitimate cure for a legitimate ailment where nothing else will do as good of a job, I'm good with that.
