Since all of us have sped before in our vehicles, we are in the company of pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and dope smokers in that we've all done an illegal activity before.

What is the point of saying something like that? What value does that add to any discussion?

Here is my response to Dawgs4Lyfe. Is Big Pharma in the weed business now? No. They are already losing money. Would some folks in DEA lose their jobs if weed were legal? Probably, but more likely they would be re-assigned b/c it's damn near impossible to fire a federal employee. Maybe they could start actually keeping dangerous drugs out like heroin. Oh right, most heroin comes from Afghanistan. Heroin overdoses and addiction has spiked since we invaded. Hmmm, interesting. So God gave us the ability to make choices, free will. You say he didn't make a mistake by putting herb on the planet. Then why do most Christians, including yourself, want it eradicated. Are you not ok with God's plan? Tell you what Dawgs4Lyfe, why don't you read some of these Bible verses and get back to me. Herbs for Healing

The context of DL's statement was the argument of "freedom". He said that we should allow all sorts of actions that we currently outlaw ("pedophilia, heroine use, cocaine use, etc") because we would be more free without such laws.

It made sense to me. He wasn't saying that smoking pot has the same level of impact on others as pedophilia, rape, murder, or hard-drug use, but that if the argument for legalizing marijuana is centered around more freedom, the same can be said about all kinds of activities that are currently illegal.

I guess the same point as saying that marijuana is not addictive because you have smoked it and you did not become addicted...even though science says it is?
