prosecution. That is not a sensible thing to do. Ergo there is no such thing

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? |

If you wish. Using cannabis is against the law. By using it you risk prosecution. That is not a sensible thing to do. Ergo there is no such thing as a sensible cannabis user. |
risk being involved in a fatal crash. That is not sensible risk. Ergo
there is no such thing as a sensible car user.

Do you spot the flaw in Mr Argument?

As far as I know "pedantics" isn't a real word, what with "pedantic" being
an adjective and all.

How would it be if the country pub sold reefers?

and sell alcohol? Again: the difference is merely cultural.
You beleive cannabis is "bad", thus come up with illogical arguments
against it. Alcohol, OTOH, is normal and socially acceptable.

I would say that the main difference between alcohol and cannabis is that it has been drummed into you that drug use is bad and, therefore, any argument that comes from somebody who supports drug use must also be bad. Lets face it - those of us who are regulars on uk.rec.cars.misc do know that you have a long history of being unable to think for yourself. Who am I thinking for then? |

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). |
drugs (i.e. alcohol) get you "drunk"? There is likely to be as much
difference between one illegal drug and another, as there is between
alcohol and an illegal drug.

The problem you have is that you would have to regulate the different
ways of smoking cannabis. People would have to know the 'limits' and they
would have to know how much to use.
Most people know more than a pint will put them over the limit, how would
people know how much cannabis would put them over a limit??
