You could at least get the law right; anybody aged 5 or over is allowed to
drink alcohol.

What I am saying is that people drink alcoholic drinks for the
alcohol. Wether they're getting a slight buzz, a bit tipsy or off
their face is their personal preference, but they are choosing to
inject alcohol because of its effects. My point was that
alcohol-free beers are poor sellers because the option of having the
taste without the drug is not a popular one.

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. I drink
because I like the taste and because I am thirsty - I do not drink
for any after effect. Believe it or not.

Obviously I'm poorly place to argue the whys and wherefores of your
personal alcohol consumption, but I would say it's irrelevant to the
argument, because you can not generalise from self and apply your drinking
principles to the whole of society.

Alcohol my well have a history of being a social drug and of encouraging
connoisseurs, but that is unrelated to the physiological effects of the
drug and its long-term health implications.

Basically your arguement boils down to; "Alcohol should be legal because
lots of people like it, but cannabis shouldn't be legal because I don't
like it and I don't like the idea of people taking a drug purely for its
narcotic effect".

That's a pretty poor argument, really.
Well, it's an argument that holds sway in most countries in the world isn't
it?

Alcohol can be used in moderation purely for its taste
and without any need for intoxication.


What do you think of binge drinkers ? .
I think they are sad and pathetic quite frankly!

Well, so you argue and I am unable to dispute it. I still maintain,
however,
that there is a dramatic difference between having a glass of wine with a
meal because you enjoy the taste of the wine, and using cannabis, not
because you like the taste, but purely because you want to get high.


You mention the word "high" quite a few times - would you care to give
your definition of what high is ? .
I use the word 'high' because it is a term that is generally used to denote
the form of intoxication derived from drug use rather than alcohol use (yes
I know that will argue that alcohol is a drug as well). I have never taken a
controlled drug in my life and so have no personal idea of how to describe
the effect (and yes, I realise you will state now state that I am poorly
placed to criticise something that I have not tried - but I don't need to
practise paedophilia to know that it is wrong).

However, there's no reason why sensible people couldn't visit a country
cannabis cafe and have a nominated driver who doesn't partake. Same as
sensible people do when visiting a nice country pub.

Can you equate cannabis taker with 'sensible'?


Compared to who ? .
With a none cannabis taker?

So anyone that has more than 3 pints in one drinking session (that's the
definition IIRC) is sad and pathetic?

What do you think of people who use cannabis in moderation in the same
way you use alcohol in moderation .
I think about them in much the same way that I think about anyone who
deliberately flouts the law. There is still the question, although you
appear to be trying to get around it, that people can drink alcoholic drinks
in moderation purely and solely and for no other reason than because they
enjoy the taste of it. For many such moderate drinkers, the intoxicating
effects are unwanted and unwelcome. I have already stated that if
alcohol-free beer and wine were available, and tasted exactly the same as
the 'proper' product, I would buy it. Would you buy and use cannabis if its
narcotic effect was removed? I think not.

Do you believe if you buy cannabis you are helping to support terrorism
and child pornography ? .
Not particularly - but clearly illegal drug suppliers are serious criminals-
particularly higher up the chain.

The ones who are sad and pathetic are those who drink to get drunk.
