    If there were a million legal substances which were worse than marijuana, it does not change the fact that it is a dangerous substance. I am not responsible for why laws are what they are which makes your question totally irrelevant.

    Yeah, well I don't expect to be appreciated in my lifetime.

    Be that as it may, your libelous insinuation demonstrates that your appeal as a spokesman for anyone of good will and good sense is, shall we say, severely limited.

    Look up toxicity of alcohol vs THC.
    There is no lethal amount of pot one can physically consume, while there is a lethal amount of booze one can physically drink.

    Having 2 drinks is far far safer than being stoned off a few hits

    Totally depends on a strain.
    For my tastes 2 drinks = 1 hit of Jack Herer.
    1 bottle of vodka = 2 hits of White 99.

    All recreational drugs are stupid and pointless. I think all should be legal though. Nobody should be able to tell anyone else how to live their life. However, if there is a substance related death, then the penalty should be death. Do what you want to **** up your own body, but you better think twicw before you **** up somebody else's life. If you are a scumbag addict who cant handle their ****, then the world is better off without you. Also, making drugs illegal just raises huge amounts of cash for drug dealers, gangs, and terrorists. So yeah, legalize all of it, but make the penalties absurdly high for substance related death or injuries.

    Absolutely does it not take the profit out of it one, bit it doesn't take the cartels out of it either, do you think they just lay down and give up?

    I was somewhat on the fence about legalizing it in Colorado but I would vote NO if I could again. I f**king hate the smell of it, and it is everywhere. People ignore the rules and smoke it anywhere they damn well please. A lot of semi brain dead young people walking around.

    Do you advocate for death penalty for anyone who kills another due to drink driving?

    any crime committed on drugs should be treated the same as a crime off drugs, do agree there

    arrest people for committing actual crimes, not just for relaxing to a joint after work, before bed or something

    Most can handle alcohol also. That does not make it a good idea. You won't know whether you have a problem until you have the problem.

    That’s absurd. And I’m someone who won’t have more than two drinks when I go out to dinner. One drink an hour so I’m safe.

    Id advocate giving such an option to victims family. The court would impose the punishment to which the family would agree to.

    I suppose we all can’t achieve the Hypocritical level of being a spokesperson for good will and good sense that Rush has achieved. I’m pleased to disappoint you.

    I don't attack people....I just don't glorify the drug. If you want to make alcohol illegal fine. I will not be addicted.

    I've seen studies that suggest that those who smoke marihuana tend to not have a lot of respect for authority. Which I suppose is why most pot smokers tend to lean left, as right wing and authoritarian are different words for the same thing. What is not clear is whether marihuana causes one to lose respect for authority, or if those who naturally don't have a lot of respect for authority are more likely to use marihuana.

    Why is that absurd?? if they took actions that resulted in killing another, how is that any different from shooting them? After you drink and get behind the wheel you cant call that accidental manslaughter anymore. You have made the choice to operate a piece of heavy machinery under the influence, and are putting everyone else in danger with your thoughtlessness. How hard is it to just not touch alcohol if you are going to drive?? Get a damn DD, and be ****ing responsible adult. When I used to drink if I knew I was going to be driving I would not have even a single beer.
