Refer madness folks back in the 60's drilled the devil weed as a stepping stone to class A drugs,next step was heroin,cocain and a society outof control,typical government control
Scare tatics.

By the late 70"s whilst living in alaska weed was legal,lower 48 never knew,no mass murders just ppl smoking weed enjoying life,alcohol and rednecks were the problem.

Made it to indoc at boot camp. The guy looked up from my chart and gets a puzzled look on his face. "You're not obese." he says. I rolled into boot camp at 5'10" 175 lbs, three months removed from wrestling season. BMI does not account for muscle mass which makes it even more bonkers as to why its a standard in health care.
That chart is bullshit.

I'm 5'9" and stay between 165-170. According to that chart I'm overweight.

So using this my "ideal" weight is around 140-145 lbs.

The last time I weighed 140-145 I was running between 60-70 miles a week, eating like an absolute health freak, looked like I was sick and was absolutely starving all the time!! WAY too skinny....but I was fast!

EXTREMELY unrealistic!!

Just diabetes, heart disease and a multitude of other conditions. How many people suffer from those how many suffer from psychosis from smoking weed? So you were for New York banning large soft drinks at fast food place? Since it’s for the health of the people.

So a quick google search.

The incidence of cannabis-induced psychotic disorder is thought to be 2.7 per 100,000 person-years, with a conversion rate to a schizophrenia-spectrum disorders ranging between one-third and one-half.

That is 8991 people



In 2020, 6.6 deaths per 100,000 people in the United States died from heart disease that was linked to obesity. This was a triple increase from 1999, when the rate was 2.2 deaths per 100,000 people

21978 people

In the United States, about 38 million people have diabetes, and 90–95% of them have type 2 diabetes. This is about 1 in 10 people in the U.S.

Seems if you were really worried about people’s physical well being you would be worried about Burger King and the pork rinds……….

Gotta look at whos funding those 'studies', there is a lot of bias built into studies... Have there been any studies regarding what getting stuck in the criminal justice system does to a person long term? I bet thats not great either.
Alex Berenson's study was done out of curiosity not bias. Watch the vid.

I reached out to Roger Kaseman about the numbers he provided in the BEK debate with Steve Bakken. https://www.bektv.plus/series/openrange
I knew kasemans numbers were inflated because I had never heard of one ER visit or hospitalization from cannabis. I asked him to clarify the numbers he provided , Here is his response, talk about a grouchy old man.

"Your ability to think things through to an illogical conclusion is astounding. Calling me a liar when the 11,847 ND Emergency Room visits and 1,152 hospitalizations that I posted are accurate makes you a part of the deepest, slimiest part of the Political Swamp."



He eventually toned it down a notch and at first he wouldn't provide the source but when I persisted he did eventually post a link to his source and that's when things got interesting. It led me down a rabbit hole that made me realize just how corrupt the reporting system is and how naive I was to believe the numbers being posted about the covid.

We've had discussions here about the dangerous bath salts and synthetic cannabinoids you can buy online or at a gas station and how those drugs were sending kids to the er for overdose and cutting themselves and suicide , it turns out all those synthetic drugs are being reported as cannabis products. I had never paid much thought to the synthetics other than I know someone that ate some gas station gummies in MN and spent 3-4 days in the hospital.

Roger reinforced my thoughts of legalization for another reason besides medical, to provide a clean product for current users and the welfare of kids and parents of kids and young adults who decide to experiment with cannabis. Synthetic cannabis is the devil at work.

The arguments that something else is worse isn't a very good argument. I'll use a little hyperbole to make my point. If someone scolds a parent for letting their three year old play with a razor sharp knife the parent responds with, yes but a gun would be worse. That argument reveals they know it's bad, but to a lesser degree, which they think justifies.

Right. It’s the Red Herring logical fallacy. It distracts from the original question of why should pot be or not be legal.

Kaseman told me he was going to block me so I told him if he does he should come over to NDA to see my response. looking at the polls, I see some must have showed up.

I'd bet you fell for his lies and have been repeating them and will continue to every chance you get. The important part of my post went over your head , it's a warning that something out there is worse, way worse and it's deadly . A family member who comes from a good Christian family and some of her friends stopped at a gas station and one of them bought some of that crap and supposedly it was her first time experimenting anyway she ended up in ER and hospital for a few days. No way I'd want my grandkids or anyone else ingesting bath salts or incense.

The lesser of two evils is a poor argument? it's almost like I've seen this one used before :unsure:

Depends if it's actually a razor sharp knife or not, that's been the debate the whole time. Some may say it's a plastic sword.
