Uh, no. Correlation does not equal causation.
Just because more states have legalized medical compared to those who have legalized recreational does NOT mean that people favor medical AND OPPOSE recreational.

See links above.
Basically, you've made a non-sequitur.
Perhaps you should dump what's in your pipe and get sober for a bit while we discuss this.
:think:
Nonsense.
Go ahead, read the link I provided and tell me that my claim is unfounded.
I dare you.
:yawn:
Medical pot probably accounts for less than 1 percent of consumption. The main reason behind decriminalization is so pot heads can consume without fear of legal repercussions.
That they are "separate" issues is a distraction from the serious matter of law and justice. But feel free to just keep smoking.
Noope. It's simply a case of potheads pushing their agenda by any means necessary. I bet you can't name one person who will say they they favor medical, but oppose recreational.

How about the 10+ entire states that only allow medicinal marijuana?
If someone suffered from severe pain would you prefer they use a prescribed opioid or prescribed marijuana?
Did someone say they didn't? :idunno:

Then, legally speaking, these entire states favor medicinal marijuana but oppose recreational marijuana. Correct?
[MENTION=5754]TomO[/MENTION]? Is that you? :chuckle:
Still a non-answer. When you have a headache or muscle pain, etc do you take a pain reliever? Do you recognize that there is an opioid epidemic with thousands dying from accidental overdose? If that same person could manage their pain with a non-lethal and far less addictive alternative, wouldn't that be preferred?

Do you actually find it hard to believe that a person would support medicinal marijuana use and oppose legalizing recreational use?
Rauner: Yes to medical marijuana, still no to recreational
| Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner continues to walk the line on marijuana in the state. The same week that the Illinois Department of Public Health said 44,000 people in the state have asked for a medical marijuana card, Rauner once again said he’s OK with medical marijuana. The governor proudly stood by a new law that he signed to allow people to swap an opioid prescription for a medical marijuana script. “We studied the issue of whether we should make [marijuana] available for chronic pain. We studied it because there are pros and cons because cannabis is addictive,” Rauner said. “But we signed a law that basically said where opioids would otherwise be prescribed, we want to make medical cannabis available. Because it is less addictive than opioids.” But the governor remains opposed to recreational marijuana because he says it’s just a massive social experiment, and no one know what’s going to happen. |
Rauner once again said he’s OK with medical marijuana but the governor remains opposed to recreational marijuana. :noway:

"Eighty-three percent of Americans surveyed recently said that doctors should be able to prescribe marijuana to patients, according to the results of a Yahoo/Marist poll published Monday. Only 14 percent said they oppose legalizing medical marijuana, and 4 percent said they weren’t sure either way.
However, 49 percent of individuals surveyed said they support legalizing recreational marijuana, compared to 47 percent who said they disapprove."

Are we talking about people who do drugs, or criminals who steal, rape, murder ( in other words, violates the non aggression principal)?
Considering that rape and murder are capital crimes and the punishment for such is execution, then those are clearly not crimes I'm talking about.
Theft and doing drugs (not for medicinal reasons) arecrimes, but the punishment is not death.
How many times should the thief be punished before being deemed uncompliant? The drug addict?

Theft is a crime.....what one wants to put in his body is not....stupid, yes..criminal, no
Sure it is, especially when those substances causes the one who partook of it to act in a manner that could potentially kill someone.
God does not expect society to tolerate such dangerous behavior.
Let's take pot for an example.
Pot causes damage to one's body, and the second-hand smoke can be dangerous to others.
Doc, do you know what the punishment is in the Bible for causing permanent injury to someone?
That applies to alcohol in spades.
That applies to tobacco in spades.
Do you?

Quite true....but I'm sure JR will argue those should be outlawed as well.
Remember, being drunk is a criminal offense..
