Bad things DO happen.  According to the CDC, the number one source of accidental poisonings of kids is prescription drugs, more than any other household poison or product.  Over 64% of teens who abuse prescription painkillers get them from someone they know, including parents and other adults, often by taking them without permission.  There is no legitimate reason to believe that legal marijuana could somehow be immune to this.

Bad things DO happen. 

But not to your or your kids, because you're special, you're "on top of things" and the Smartest Guy in the Room.

So none of this applies to you.  You making alcohol accessible to your kids is okay, because you're "vigilant" and "on top of things", unlike all those stupid people.

Also, "marijuana poisoning".  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good thing there's no such thing as ALCOHOL POISONING, right?

You are a bad parent who has convinced himself that he's not a bad parent, because these sorts of things don't apply to him.

Way to go.

Yep.  Special pleading, at the expense of your own children.

Your kids should be taken by CPS.  You are clearly an unfit parent.

But we aren't listening to you, mostly because everything you say is bullshit that you can't even adhere to. 

You have become a sound board for mockery and ridicule.

Congratulations.

See, the deal is, it doesn't matter of thing x is more dangerous, or more addictive, or more whatever than marijuana.  Because that isn't the question.  Whether or not marijuana should be legal should be based on its own merits as a substance, based on its own qualities.  In that respect, for me, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to legalize as the impacts of marijuana on youth, on public health, and on society are abundantly clear. 

That isn't the question because you know the answer completely undermines who you are—an unquestioning conformist who has based his moral identity around the Controlled Substances Act (which is fundamentally about comparing how dangerous different substances are).

If you seriously entertained that question you might have to admit that the policies you've helped defend have actually led to more harm to society and you'd have to rethink your entire sense of self, your entire sense of worth. Easier to keep pulling the wool over your own eyes, eh?

If this little prohibition song and dance that you do isn't to convince us, perhaps it's to convince yourself?

I think that's all it's about at this point. He ignores absolutely everything that doesn't fit into his Black Iron Prison.

This seems like a good time to remind the gentle reader that I was supportive of his viewpoint right up until the point where I asked him whether both perspectives might be based in valid evidence, and he unequivocally denied that the decriminalization perspective could have a valid basis.

I mean, how many people have you convinced, RWHN?  Let me be clearer on that:  How many people have you sold on prohibition on PD, as opposed to how many people you have convinced that prevention is utter crap, and just another way for fanatical punishment freaks to destroy peoples' lives?

Way to go.   :lulz:
