    If lives were more important than liberty, we'd still be a colony of England and slaves would still be slaves.

    I believe that drugs including marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol do much more harm then good. Tens of thousands of lives are lost through them.

    Your not listening never mind responding to my comments - and restating your premise - does not an argument make.
    I agree that drugs such as pot alcohol tobacco can do harm. So what ? should we ban everything that has a risk of harm ?

    Do feel free to make an argument at some point - preferably a legal argument as that is what is being discussed.

    I support banning worst causes of harm -- guns, narcotics, tobacco, and hard alcoholic beverages.

    Translation: If you don’t think as I do you must be high on drugs.

    Define "worst causes of harm" - this is a legal argument (not that you have made one - other than restating your premise)

    How many deaths a year ? - some kind of measurement stick.

    I can not answer questions about details.

    It took decades of work by thousands of professionals to build a Near Perfect System is Canada and Scandinavia.

    All I know is that Human Lives are valuable.

    Agreed - You are not able to answer any questions .... and provide no substantiation for or defense of your position that harm reduction - regardless of the amount - is valid justification for law.

    Pot , Alcohol, Tobacco and Guns (not handguns) are legal in Canada - so this refutes rather than supports your claim.

    Good that you have refuted your own claim though - saves me the trouble.

    This is a platitude of which you don't know the meaning. You have no respect for individual liberty - and want to force your personal beliefs on others - beliefs you can not defend or justify - through violence.

    Clearly you do not have much respect for lives of other people.

    It is most properly referred to as a duck-billed platitude.

    Out of curiosity, if I am understanding your position correctly, what makes you so sure that the true root of her problem is marijuana?
