Who cares about any of this? Let people do what they want. If you're against it, don't smoke it.

What if I only drive horses? Besides, I don't smoke. I just don't have a problem with other people doing it.

I remember the ad campaign that said that marijuana caused a train wreck... the engineer had been smoking pot and ran into another train.

They could have more accurately said that "watching the football game on TV, drinking beer, and smoking pot caused the train wreck."

I think I saw a statistic that football games cause 'way' more train wrecks than pot or,booze

That's great when you're preaching to the choir, but this article is actually addressing fallacies in the arguments of authoritarians which makes it useful if we actually hope to reach people who don't already agree with your statement. More specifically, it addresses the nature of bias and why people should not swallow everything they read/hear. It's a tool that can be used to teach people to think more independently.

True. I let myself get irritated over the same regurgitated issue. I'm so bad.
