    Then why has it never actually done such?

    The outcome proved it was true.

    Not sure what it has to do with marijuana legalization though.

    Just because Pot is not legal does not mean that legitimate stats cannot be collected. In fact they have been collected and are quite legitimate.

    The barcode does not identify where the alcohol was sold and by whom

    "it might be sold to children" is a completely nonsensical argument against pot legalization. For one it is a violation of the rule of law - one person is not to be punished for the actions of another.

    Why should an adult be punished (denied essential liberty) because some child gets a hold of a joint ?

    H2O = water = one could drown. Did you have a point beyond stating the obvious ?

    No. But it is helpful in several diseases. Actually it does make you hungry and helps lots if people on chemo with their appetite

    So can an unhealthy diet and numerous other legal things. Are you saying this is your argument for why Pot should be illegal ?

    I think pot should remain illegal for many different reasons

    All of which the pro potties reject

    I look at it this way

    We have to eat ,

    but blowing our brains out with THC is optional

    No because that already failed

    I am for not legalizing more damaging substances than we already have

    What I asked was what those reasons are - specifically - if "Pot causes cancer" was one of them.

    Marijuana makes you a “drug zombie”...

    So you are against national healthcare to benifit the citizens and are also against allowing people to ingest an herb because you are against national healthcare. Do you not see the circular logic there?

    Alcohol, cigarettes and pharmaceuticals send more people to the hospital in a month than marijuana does in a year. And the death rates of each vs marijuana are staggering.
