I am not really interested in splitting hairs in the one incident. Drugs are by far the bigger problem for our youngsters than school shootings. And yet the media and the left focusses on school shootings.

 

Link is broken.

The OP is about this incident.

Would you rather your child experience discomfort from an edible or have them shot to death? If murder is more serious, and i Hop you agree it is, then you know why the OP is a dumb argument.

 

Marijuana Laced With Fentanyl Hits Tennessee • Green Rush Daily

the discussion has been all over the map.

False equivalency there have been numerous deaths from Pot and other dangerous drugs.

 

But... but.... weed is "natural", and "beneficial"... and "safe".... right? How is this even possible lefties? How can kids "OD" on weed again? Didn't you guys always scream at the rest of us who pointed out that this was and should always be a controlled substance?

 

Pot is not a "dangerous drug." No one has ever ODed from it. It's safer than alcohol.

 

Mild discomfort isn't the same thing as murder.

 

Imagine having to actually point this out... over and over and over.

 

we have had a "war on drugs" for over 100 yrs, starting with 1912 harrison narcotics act, what do you suggest the country does?, apparently a minority of people will access drugs, no matter what, the war is responsible for fentynal as its smaller and easier to smuggle, i maintain that the war has indirectly killed many, many people..people given access to a pure form of their desired drug in pharmacuetic form would be going back to a 1950s era of usage where drugs were available at reasonable cost and people carried on their lives with their addictions, my mother was an on and off addict for fifty years, working as an RN nurse, she never once robed walmart

 

I don't give a rats a$$ whether it is more dangerous than alcohol. I would not miss alcohol at all.

I beg to differ. One of my grandsons started out with pot and finally ODed with heavier drugs. Pot is more dangerous from lung cancer standpoint than cigarettes and they have caused wrecks which killed people. Not just themselves, but other people.

 

Notice how you had to switch to "started out with pot and finally ODed with heavier drugs" when supposedly replying to something about folks ODing on pot. Again I ask: would you rather your kid be shot to death or experience mild discomfort from a pot edible? Why can't you answer such a simple question? Because the answer would make you abandon the OP.

 

I said we'll see at 6:30 if it is buried or not.

 

i work with recovering addicts, and have for years, and the common denominator is childhood sexual abuse, it is traumatic childhoods that is the prime mover in the addict population, the notion of "gateway drugs" has long been disproven in the real world, and in any event i would venture to say people start with booze first

 

You are not being honest. I never said the 10 in my example were murdered. In fact, I have made posts clearly stating that one way we had 10 kids injured in a shooting and 10 kids injured by overdosing on Cannabis and yet the shooting would make the news while the other doesn't. I compared 10 injured kids to 10 injured kids.

 

ONLY after I showed it wasn't being buried

 

You started a thread saying that 10 kids who experienced mild discomfort should be given the same attention as if they had been murdered. Would you rather your child have a bad trip from a pot edible or be shot? Be honest.

 

When has there been a school mass shooting where 10 kids were injured and there were no deaths?

 

I said we'll see at 6:30 if it is buried or not.

 

Please quote where I said the 10 were murdered. I never said that. I said they were shot. I didn't say they were murdered.

 

You can infer all you want. All I said was that 10 kids were shot vs 10 kids who overdosed. You connected your own dots the way you wanted to.

 

Not what I said. You said that these ten kids who experienced discomfort should be given the same attention as if they had been shot. That's your OP. I'm trying to get you to finally address it instead of running around and hiding.

 

Would you rather your child be shot or experience mild discomfort from an edible? Looks like we have some dot-o-phobia here.

 

You are the one running around trying to avoid the discussion.

 

True statement. Do you accept then that the supplier would be liable for that discomfort?

 

I guess you are not up on the news. We have a very huge overdose problem in the US where people die. It happens constantly. You can die from an overdose but not from a gunshot. Would you rather have a child who suffered severe consequences from an overdose or would you rather have a child who was grazed by a bullet?

 

I see the point you are trying to make, but it is far from a fair comparison. On this topic, as a kid, I was always able to get anything I wanted. Booze, cigarettes, dirty magazines, and pot were always easy to get. What should politicians do?
