[Well, that was quite an episode in the last sandbox that I hope has run its course, or at least not let that thread of ad hominem exchanges leak out. I see that Sen Ted Cruz will throw his hat in the ring tomorrow, NATO's chief sees continued expansion from Putin that may get out of hand, and Bibi is keeping his powder dry re the farcical negotiations going on with Iran. And our own Bob Crabb is celebrating that Spring has sprung with a change in the business climate hereabouts. gjr]

It appears, then, that your opinion is based not so much on the always popular for-the-good-of the-children stance but instead on allegiance to your government.

You don’t need to be a bleeding heart LIB to look out for kids.
I didn’t say that you did. What I did say was that your allegiance to government, rather than what is good for children, is a liberal characteristic.
Funny though,, The dope smoking Lefty doesn’t have an issue with selling it to kids.
Criminals tend to be politically agnostic so I suspect that few dope dealers lean strongly left or right.
Kids can get weed faster than getting cigs or booze.
That’s correct and it is an excellent reason to legalize. When businessmen, who are motivated to keep their licenses to sell (such as those who now sell alcohol and tobacco), replace criminals who have no reason to discriminate to whom they sell, then it will be just as hard to kids to get marijuana is it is to now get tobacco and alcohol.LikeLike

Dear People – the level of debate here sometimes becomes a bit sophomoric, but that is OK because, after all, this is the Sandbox. However, questioning whether a longtem dietary indiscretion that perhaps contributes to the deaths of millions should have its suppliers executed vs a substance that indisputably contributes to specific deaths is a bit humorous, and more so when the questioner believes he’s actually in there duking it out on a peer intellectual level.

MichaelK 842pm – Another excellent argument for legalizing MJ. Kids will indeed have a harder time getting the weed when its cheapest distribution channels are all legal and regulated. Black market MJ will then cost a lot more than now because there will be fewer illegal growers. At least that is how the putative economics seems to work out.
Does anyone know the stats yet from WA and CO on such sales to kids and their post legalization consumption rates?LikeLike

George Rebane 29Mar15 08:33 PM
The first seven hits for a Google search on the terms “post-legalization teen” report that teen usage and traffic fatalities related to usage have significantly decreased. The eighth reported these rates have not changed more than their statistical margins of error.LikeLike

joe smith 29Mar15 09:41 AM
Rather than the likes of the organizations you list I was think of criminals of the sells-a-pound-or-two-per-month kind.
Between that and “some whacky sauce on this morning’s eggs,” I respectfully request that you to stick it up your ass, if you don’t mind.LikeLike

MK 21:41 AM (the AM shows you are on “faketime” thus likely using TOR to hide your identity, Why go through the effort?).
We are all entitled to our own definition of criminal. Your “pound or two a month club” is a definition I haven’t heard before. In the eyes of God (as interpreted by the Pope himself) Todd Juvinall is a criminal of the first order (Allegedly three divorces and counting. Who knows how many abortions?).
I am still intrigued by your observation that criminals are agnostic. Do you imply agnostics are criminals or that the pious aren’t fit to be criminals? Simply wondering where you are headed with this. I have Googled your assertion that “criminals are agnostic”and found no validation. Please elucidate.LikeLike

I am neither faking nor hiding anything. I prefaced my comment with “joe smith 29Mar15 09:41 AM” to indicate the comment to which I was responding. This has been requested by our host and is somewhat customary here on RR.
I in no way attempted to restrict your entitlement to your definition of criminal but did inform you of the kind of criminal I had in mind when I posted my earlier statement.
Tod Juvenall’s personal history is of no concern to me. It appears that this is not the case for you.
I did not say that criminals are agnostic. In response to Walt’s statement, “The dope smoking Lefty doesn’t have an issue with selling it to kids,” I said, “Criminals tend to be political agnostics.” “Agnostic” does not exclusively concern religious beliefs and by specifying “political agnostic” I intended to indicate my observation that criminals tend to not demonstrate strong political allegiances.
Are you actually lack a knack for the obvious and frequently require this level of assistance?LikeLike

You are correct and I am to be corrected. A second glance at the time stamp would have clearly indicated you were referencing a previous post. My mistake, and mine alone. I’m sorry for the TOR snipe allegations. Sometimes I admit to needing your level of assistance :-). Thank you.LikeLike

TJ 6:45. Unlike you, I entered into marriage vowing to love my wife to the end of my life. It’s been a pretty nice relationship going into our 4th decade. When the going got rough during our first 10 years, we didn’t take the easy way out and toss in the towel for convenience sake, but worked through the bumps. The past 20 years have been the best of my life. And no, we never had, or ever considered an abortion either.
That you can repeatedly, and with apparent flippant glee, repeatedly break your oaths under God speaks volumes to your character.LikeLike

Walt and Todd have included tobacco and alcohol in their assessments of what should be done with those who supply drugs to minors. Rather than the killing that they support for suppliers of other drugs they are of the opinion that those who provide tobacco and alcohol to minors deserve “thump’n” and “flogging.” Walt bases his opinion not on concern for the minors but on the legality of tobacco and alcohol.
I also question your assessment of tobacco and alcohol as the “most dangerous drugs of all.”LikeLike

-
Todd, please show me where I advocated selling drugs to minors. If you cannot find it please appologize. I believe pot is not healthy and dangerous for minors as is alcohol and tobacco and should be illegal. Death by bullets in my view is a bit severe. Why shouldn’t it be also used for tobacco and alcohol distribution to minors.
That is illegal as well and both are killer drugs.
What in your view is the difference?LikeLike
-
No apologizes from me. If you don’t oppose something usually means you agree. So that is my deduction.
MJ is a gateway drug and most if not all addicts later tell they started there. Alcohol is good for wounds and disinfectants. Tobacco is now being found to contain many chemicals that are refined out and are good. Besides, watching the smoke rise after exhaling from one’s lungs is very colorful.LikeLike

Sure Todd. Morphine is good for pain relief so should it be legal for recreational use as alcohol is?
