- Have you ever drank milk? Ooh you've used the amino acid tryptophan,
- banned by the FDA. Ever had a can of coke or a cup of coffee? Oooh,
- you've used a substance more toxic and addictive than marijuana. Ever
- used alcohol? How about sugar? Tylenol/Aspirin/Ibuprofen? All drugs.
- Piracy is wrong because it involves the theft of somebody else's
- property without their consent, please tell me what is wrong with
- drinking a can of coke, relaxing at night with a mug of hot chocolate,
- etc. Legality is not the issue, tobacco is more addictive than heroin
- and alcohol is the drug responsible for more violent behaviour than
- any other, people have died of aspirin overdoses, nobody ever died of
- marijuana overdose... You can't substantiate your position (which you
- don't even state clearlt) so you engage in an ad hominem attack.
- Impressive. (That was sarcasm for those of us who are sarcasm-noticing
- impaired)
- Anyhow...
- Blessed Be,
