Actually GIThruster 42% of adults in the United States will try cannabis in a lifetime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_lifetime_cannabis_use_by_country#cite_note-plos2008july-2 So exactly what is 9X 42%? Why do you keep using Pot as a proxy for Meth, Crack, Opium, Cocaine, Heroine, etc? The Lib...

He was saying a private company has a federal contract for running US prisons, but there's a clasue in it that says the State has to maintain 98% occupancy Probably one of the things that should not be run by private companies, then, eh? Not enough information to be sure, but I'd bet that's a rate ...

I guess you are unfamiliar with the term "free body"? I'm not surprised you are dodging. It is a difficult point to refute. You don't have a point. Epidemiology is not physics. If you'd like to understand the spirit of my answers, ask a physics teacher to tell you the story of the spherical cow. In...

You should avoid trying to tie morality to effectiness. I disagree. If the only issue was efficacy, it wouldn't be a moral issue. But drug policy is ruining lives, resulting in the deaths of people here and in the third world. Criminalization is supporting high prices that allows drug producers to ...

I'm going to skip your physics questions because they are both irrelevant (epidemiology is no where near as straight forward as physics) and have many answers (Hire a twelve year old to hold it. Use a vacuum above it. Define the object as the origin of the coordinate system and declare all movement ...

I'm going to have to rearrange your links to group them according to which study from the the primary literature they reference. I am assuming you are aware of the different types of literature and why primary literature is the best. That's what I'm drilling down to. http://www.herald.ie/lifestyle/h...

Ladajo: Thank you for posting your evidence! I appreciate it. I'm going to go through what you've posted and see what it says and how much of it is backed with actual science. Even if we end up disagreeing I appreciate the effort you've put into supporting your beliefs. Let me restate my positions s...

More personal attacks and still no evidence. I've concluded that no such evidence exists. You're just spinning lies to support your immortality. So I'm done with you. Unless you learn basic argumentation, there's no reason to pay any more attention to your trolling. Ladajo, please post a link to you...

But the scientific and medical communities are not unaware of the evidence that cannabis use is completely detrimental. Let's examine both parts of that statement. First But the scientific and medical communities are not unaware of the evidence Wow. That's horrible. Are not unaware? How about is aw...

Drugs are bad? That's you're argument? Seriously? No. That's my conclusion. If you want all the arguments, dig up all the conversation on this over the last year in a dozen different threads. You can't expect us all to hand hold you through the same discussions over and over again. Respond to the a...

That's exactly why the comparisons you want to employ are useless. There are far too many loose variables for you to isolate nations and make meaningful comparisons. Even in comparing Scandinavia to the rest of the West, there are so many important distinctions in temperament and world view that me...

Blankbeard, Yes I have references. I also unlike normally, purposely left them out. I added enough hints for them to be found. The Irish one in particular was interesting. They noted a 4 times increase in teen psychosis following the police policy of not enforcing possession. After seeing this as h...

Anyone who works with psychotics knows this isn't true. A close friend of mine works in a clinic and everyone there expects anyone coming in with psychosis is a cannabis user. Almost all of them admit it. When they go off their specified regimen it is almost always that they decided to start using ...

Simon, There are 1,300 registered Herion Addicts in the Swiss system that get weekly assistance. How many are there that are not registered? I'm not MSimon but I've been reading the board for a couple months and I think I can answer many of these questions. Given that Switzerland has a population o...
