Sure it's disturbing, but it's just words. No more or less significant than any of the evils that have been attributed to pot smoking on this thread.

Then your round about answer is "Yes, I think that smoking pot can cause violence."
That claim is significant because we are discussing whether pot should be legal or not. We are discussing the evils of pot and violence to others is an evil that is not normally associated with people who get stoned. That was the false argument made in the past preying on people's fear to gain support to criminalize pot. In this thread the evils have been:
- driving impaired, which is a valid argument because no one denies that pot mentally impairs you
- being lazy and lacking ambition, which is a true because a lack of motivation is a side effect of smoking pot
- being a piece of shit, which was dispelled because obviously people can be pieces of shit with or without pot
If there is something I missed or if you have examples of people committing violent acts, such as drowning babies, while under the influence of pot, please share.

It's the false history that it's horrible that government is sticking to because of people like Timalkin who believe all that false history.
In my blog I went on a tirade about the stupidity of this country's pot laws. Linked a good documentary about it too, I think.

That's what I was assuming, thanks for the clarification. I agree with that whole-heartedly.
