If it's his right to choose to push his body to the max swimming, why is smoking pot wrong?SpaceSquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760939592584995876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505812700967330296.post-19770355207527461822009-02-04T18:11:00.000+00:002009-02-04T18:11:00.000+00:00I don't disagree but these kind of things often tr...I don't disagree but these kind of things often try to paint the drug has being totally harmless, when it is at least on the level of alcohol.<BR/><BR/>It's all one of those silly press whipped up moral storms the whole story really.

I didn't actually check out any of the links, since I didn't really think it was the kind of thing that gained anything from careful sourcing.<BR/><BR/>As to deep emotional/mental damage, I'm not sure how much of that is still up in the air, but in any case I'm sure the author would argue (probably quite convincingly) that decrying any potential psychological damage while effectively cheering on physical harm is still a pretty strange way to go about things.SpaceSquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760939592584995876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505812700967330296.post-31647097332243316672009-02-04T17:53:00.000+00:002009-02-04T17:53:00.000+00:00The letter does have good ponits to make but the l...The letter does have good ponits to make but the links to the stories of police brutality are laughably one sided (including the one debated for many hours on here once before.<BR/><BR/>Also conviently doesn't mention the deep damage the drug can do to people on an emotional and mental level.<BR/><BR/>So yes, fair enough the 'ol dope is a very strange place legally but things are quite as draconian as painted in the rant.
