Well, that's what you get for being a rat.

andyt andyt:

If you were a pot head, you'd know this stuff. Who says pot makes you stupid.

I take it you are a pothead, since you "know your stuff", and with that, you contradict the point you are trying to prove.

Brenda Brenda:

andyt andyt:

So how does that contradict my point?

You're stupid.

Just in case you're too stupid to get it.

Let's parse the logic here:

I say that pot heads know how many grams there are in an ounce.

You say I know this stuff, therefore I contradict the point I'm trying to prove?

The point I was making was that potheads know how many grams in an ounce.

You say I know how many grams there are in an ounce, therefore I contradict my point that potheads know how many grams are in an ounce.


It really isn't ESL, is it? It's a logic deficiency.

[Brenda]

Omg, you really don't get it. Ok, let me type this really slowly, so you might be able to keep up.

You tell me "who says potheads are stupid. I am (or was) a pothead".
I say "you are stupid". You also are (or were) a pothead.

You tried to prove the point that potheads are smart. You just disproved your point.

andyt andyt:

So you don't see any tax revenue going to the govt? You don't see this taking a huge chunk of the "jet fuel" (cop's words, not mine) away from the gangs? You have a good reason why the gangs aren't already doing this something else? (OTI explained it that it doesn't make sense to do something else for thousands when you can make millions off pot, and I had to point out to him that he was making my argument for me.)

I love how you reference part of stories to make your point, but leave out the other part.

You cut down the profit made by pot, they'll start pushing other drugs to make up for the lost revenue.

Then you'll be back here in a decade trying to get Ecstasy legalized.

You know nothing about gangs, other than the fact that you support them by buying your drugs.

You're right, Brenda. It was stupid of me to think you actually had a point to make.

Why aren't they pushing those drugs now? What market is there for those other drugs just waiting to be exploited, that they're not exploiting now? They already push other drugs - you think they're just not applying themselves diligently enough? What is this big demand for other drugs that's going unfulfilled now? Are there voices in the wilderness crying "please, Mr Gangster, quit selling pot and sell me **&%^ instead"?

I already think X should be legalized and regulated. Reduce harm doing that over kids dying from dirty X.

$1:

Health risks: There has been much hysterical speculation about the dangers of taking Ecstasy, and although the vast majority of these articles seem more interested in pursuing a moral agenda than dealing with the health issues, it's important to recognise that there are some risks involved.

Although it's true to say that E is a comparably safe drug, in 1999, Ecstasy was mentioned on 26 UK death certificates in 1999 (although on most of these other drugs were listed too).

The problem with X is that you'd have to make the legal version available to young people, or they'll just keep on using the street version with who knows what shit is in it. I don't think anybody is ready for that. But what's happening now isn't good either, and it sure seems easy to get the street stuff. Maybe we could try getting tougher on the precursers of the stuff, but then of course it just gets smuggled in. I know if I had a teenager at home I would much rather they use clean X of known dosage than street crap. Better of course they don't use anything, and that's where good parenting would come in - and setting an example.

I love how you make up bullshit try to make your point. What drugs am I buying? And, what do you know about gangs? You know, but the cops and attorneys general that say it would reduce gang activity don't?

I'm just sick of the fact that we have to make laws to protect people from themselves. Don't blame the producers, don't blame the dealers... blame the idiots that abuse.

That will really move things forward. How would be blame them - put them in jail? Didn't we already try that? I'm sure it feels good to say something like what you just did - those morally worthless drug users - but how does it help? And what about booze users - do they escape your blame? If so, why?

Suicide is illegal too...

[andyt]

No it's not, not since 1972 has attempted suicide been illegal. Helping somebody do it is.

Nope...
Suicide is not a crime in Canada, but physician-assisted suicide is considered illegal.
It's also illegal for anybody to help or counsel someone to commit suicide.
