Holding an ignition source near a flammable substance can cause explosive combustion. Therefore marijuanna is bad!

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

You also don't "allow" yourself to become addicted to something, it's something that occurs. It's not something that shows moral weakness or anyhting like that.


Well, are you still taking them? If so, then yes, you are. Using potentially addictive substances that impair your mind, body or judgement on a regular basis is not the behavior of a genius.

It's really quite simple. I don't take anything I know to be addictive. If I find myself addicted, I have done something stupid, or made a mistake, and seek to rectify it immediately.

Alright, So I guess I'm dumb because I had to take medicinal marijuana to cope with my pain when I had to go through three surgeries to get shrapnel from a damn RPG hit out of my shoulder eh? Makes sense.

How nice of you to pass judgement on a person or group of people without knowing their history.

Butane is in cigarettes, fuel, some forms of machine oil if I'm correct and I'm probably not. Banning it would make as much sense as banning all forms of gasoline for it's flammable properties.

Edit: Butane is kind of a gasoline, had to add in 'all forms'.

Medical =/= recreational. There's a difference between taking a prescribed medication and popping pills. One is necessary and acceptable, the other is unnecessary and potentially harmful, thus a poor choice.

It's your right, of course, just like it's my right to jump in front off a bridge. Doesn't mean it's a good idea though.

Nothing personal, you understand, I just find the recreational use of potentially dangerous or addictive substances to be a rather dumb thing to do.

And for you to hold an opinion is your right. However, I view you as a narrow minded person. As well, I'm guessing quite a bit if not most of the population is dumb then since they enjoy and drink coffee. And coffee is addictive due to the caffeine.

There's a big difference between a narrow minded person, and someone who has developed an educated opinion based on experience. Coffee? Addictive, perhaps, but in my experience, ultimately harmless. Call it an exception to the rule, but it causes no lasting harm, is so cheap that you'd probably kill yourself with it before you could cause financial harm to yourself and others, and doesn't cause any psychological effects beyond slightly elevated energy levels. Things like Crack, Cocaine, Pills, Weed, etc. cause lasting harm, are often psychologically damaging or altering, cost enough that an addiction to them can be a huge waste of money, and so on. If you can prove another exception, I'll accept it.

Plus concentrated THC in hash products makes it all the more psychologically addicting than a joint. It's like the difference between coca leaf and cocaine.

That...just...no.

Adding more of something that is "psychologically addictive" (that is, a compulsion and not an addiction) does not make it more addictive.

Adding more sugar to my cereal doesn't make it more addictive.

Cannabis is a minimally-addictive mix of chemicals (ranked lowest of cannabis, caffeine, cocaine, alcohol, heroin and nicotine). THC is only one of these, and by itself is less addictive than the total content of the cannabis bud. Cocaine is a highly addictive substance. It is more addictive in isolation than all of the chemicals in the coca leaf mixed together.

You're talking about physical and psychological addiction as if they're same thing. You should not do that.
