    I realize that you can not handle viewing yourself in the mirror - that much is true.

    You are correct that I want limited Gov't and respect the founding principles and the liberty of others. You on the other hand hate the founding principles and have no respect for essential liberty - you are a collectivist and no better than the Islamist - wanting to force your personal beliefs on others through physical violence (Law).

    your picture is fake propaganda... in fact they have found people lungs are healthier\stronger in Marijuana smokers, they think part of that is due to holding their breath in to increase the buzz

    that said, you don't have to smoke Marijuana, can have it in brownies, gummies, ect... just like alcohol can be inhaled, eaten, drunken and we even heard of those putting it up their bottom...

    yeah and lifting weights damages the muscles too - lol (course the body can handle it and become stronger if not overdone)

    ... you do realize the indoor air you breath is "bad" too... you gonna live out in the wilderness, no, cause the body was designed to handle these kinda things as long as not in excess

    in fact if you avoided anything that could be considered "bad" 100%, your body could become weaker, the body adapts, it's good at that to a point

    In this case its your mirror - the one you swiped from a funny house that distortes reality - that you are telling me to react to

    You have a very quaint understanding of absolute liberty that has never been practiced in America

    There are limits

    Such examples are being searched for. However when such decisions are made by lower courts, but overturned by higher courts of appeal, the matter is significantly more difficult to demonstrate with transcripts.

    I just have a hard time to believe that a Supreme Court would favor international treaty over US Law.

    Not the united state supreme court. The courts of the united states.

    Tar is good for you......sure. Sounds like the argument that being stoned makes you a better driver.

    We need to be honest and accept the negative and the positive from potential legalization. That is the only way to make an educated decision.

    You probably heard that from someone who just smoked a big 'doobie'.

    I absolutely have limits when they hurt others or cause irreparable harm to the end user.
    Marijuana does not fit this.

    Most Americans are against prohibition on weed because the evidence against it is slowing being exposed for propaganda and lies, it’s no longer a liberal issue.

    The first person I ever heard argue for the legalization of all drugs, was William F Buckley - one of the key voices for Reagan Republicans.

    Republicans used to put great value on personal liberty. But those days are long gone. Religious fanaticism took over the party.

    Do your limits apply to booze - the drug that kills more people and ruins more lives than all other drugs combined?

    Apparently, your limits are not linear.
    Marijuana is less dangerous to adults than both alcohol and tobacco, by a significant margin.
    Yet you only support arrest and incarceration for the lesser one.

    Strange metric.
    The propaganda the government pumped into your brain seems to be very effective.

    Not really

    If we did not have the wipe-every-nose welfare aka nanny stste I would say you are free to do drugs AND freeze/starve under an overpass with no help or hinderence from the government or taxpayers

    Republicans are all about control. Sexual orientation, the right to die instead of suffering miserably with no hope, who you can marry, what kind of sex you can have, the right of choice for women, the ability to choose your recreational activities, you name it, Republicans want to control the most intimate details of a person's life.

    I would support fines for illegal pot that are about equal to speeding tickets

    You clearly don't know what nanny state means. This seems normal for R-wing nanny staters.

    The US is only about 250 years old.

    In contrast, the war on drugs has worked so well!

    Thats not possible with its current classification which lists it as more dangerous than meth. Do you at least agree it should be rescheduled then?

    Do you think human history began with the Declaration of Independence?

    I think the euro weenies would disagree with that

    speaking of history, all the escape drugs libs crave used to be legal

    But they caused so many social problems they were outlawed

    Pot is not more dangerous than meth, which is real nasty stuff
