Medical Marijuana--

I wonder if my frustration with this thread parallels the incredibly slow action in the movement to decriminalize or even legalize pot.

You have, in me, a person who has lots of first- and second-hand experience with drugs. You have someone who believes wholeheartedly in everyone's right to choose.

I believe that the argument of the potential negative effects of THC have nothing to do with the argument at all.

But if you need to convince me that pot is "less harmful than milk", or that there are "zero pot-related fatalities" or that "alcohol is worse than pot because it's physically addictive," then you're trying to make me agree with something that I just don't think is true - or need to believe is true to have me on your side.

If you want to enjoy your drugs - go for it. But please don't make me have to agree to the above pro-drug arguments to support you in your pursuit of happiness.
