Nope. A conversation involves listening to what the guy on the other side says.
OK, go right ahead then. What do you have to say about bacon?
Nah. You catch up, if you care. Which you don't.

Whether true or not.....not the governments business.
Stripe and co. have made it clear that they don't want the same standards applied to alcohol and tobacco, even though alcohol and tobacco are more dangerous by orders of magnitude. Sheer hypocrisy is what it is.
Quote myself saying something I have never said?
Put down the joint and learn to engage sensibly. :up:

Are we in agreement:
To the argument that pot is like alcohol and so should not be regulated differently, Denver Bible Church judges that reasoning as wrong and believes that pot should be illegal because:
1. It should be illegal to be high (intoxicated)
2. Any substance should be controlled if its normal use makes one high
Billions of people cannot get drunk on a sip of wine. Hundreds of millions cannot get drunk even on a glass of wine or a can of beer. Conversely, there are countless millions of people who would (and do) get high even with a single drag or two on a joint (normal use). That single hit or two makes someone mentally negligent, affects their moral compass, and as with drunkenness, even increases lust. And the potent pot sold today at dispensaries worsens this consequence.
The reason that God prohibits drunkenness is because a drunk is an unacceptable risk to society and to himself. Yet decades ago the federal government bribed the states to decriminalize even public drunkenness. Now, Christians being seduced by the grotesquely immoral libertarian party platform of states right (to decriminalize child killing and legalize homosexual marriage), are going far beyond marijuana to even advocate for the decriminalization of cocaine too. But when the normal use of a substance gets someone intoxicated, it should not be decriminalized.

My interest is with justice. If potheads want pot decriminalized, in return we should get a justice system that endorses justice.
As it stands, what we have is a few people demanding decriminalization because they think pot cures cancer, to which all the potheads start mumbling: "Yeah, man. Free weed."
No deal.

Canada just legalized it nationwide, and it's only a matter of time before it happens here. So it's happening whether you like it or not.
Yes deal.

How many people stop drinking at just "one sip" of wine or one can of beer? Quite a few I would suppose. But many people don't stop at just one.
And then there is also hard liquor. One mixed drink can be enough to intoxicate some people.
No you have no interest in justice. If you did you would go on record in favor of outlawing alcohol and tobacco, both of which are more harmful than marijuana. But you won't because you have a biased political agenda motivated by ignorance and hypocrisy.
:yawn:
Worked up? I'm just responding to your propaganda with facts is all.
By attributing things to me that I never said?
