    Hi Mark-

    I’m not sure that most people would equate a drink or two with an escape from reality (ie., the rational faculty is not injured), but probably would make that argument regarding taking a couple puffs of marijuana (which is much more incapacitating, and definitely does impair the rational faculty).

    Wouldn’t you agree?

    No. I do not agree.

    My advocacy put me at political and social events where I had lots of opportunity to observe the wide array of MJ culture. Sure, there were a few Rastafarians enveloped in a Cheech and Chong cloud of smoke, but most everyone else was a puff here, a puff there, even little old ladies. And, even among the Rasta dudes, all were mellow and convivial. 

    Not once did I ever witness the kind of aggression that one regularly sees at parties with alcohol.

    I should not have used the word “potentially”.

    I am told that CBD is sinful because it still equates to self-medication. 

    Do you consult a physician before taking an aspirin?

    • This conversation is complex and above my level of studies and profession. I offer no opinion. I think Mark and others make great points. I will take the safer course in my own experiences.

    I do not receive ANY government grants. It's really a stupid question. .gov/.zog is still heavily invested in justifying MJ's criminal and Class 1 drug status. Do you seriously think they'd fund me and my conclusions?

    Neither you nor (((Behar))) are in any position to make demands of me.

    That you steadfastly refuse to reveal your profession renders you incredibly suspect, imo -- something you could easily clear up, yet do not.  

    I never said ((they)) fund you or your conclusions about MJ.  I am saying your still-undisclosed profession likely has a connection to your manifest, otherwise-inexplicable blindness respecting non-existent Cooties-19, modern "virology" and other such hot-button topics.  Numerous untrained amateurs can see what you cannot.  Why?

    FWIW, I agree with you on MJ, ((them)), firearms, V2, etc. -- yet, you could not be more stunningly blind about Germ Theory, etc.  What gives?

    Definitely safer. You won't risk getting a downthumb for disagreeing with the absolute expert on the subject (Mark).

    Maybe Mark downthumbs you because your responses are always so abrasively arrogant and self-righteous despite lacking knowledge and experience.

    • I understand Gladius wanting to know and understand what motivates a given person, what could be "coloring" their viewpoint on a given subject.

    But I'm sorry to say, that Mark79 is as attached to his privacy and anonymity as your average Irish patriot is attached to the Green. Mark79 would give up his hard-earned anonymity about as soon as your average Irish patriot would join the British army.

    I can tell you right now he's going to continue to refuse your request.

    • Favoritism on this forum reminds me of what George Orwell once wrote:

    You show me ONE OTHER FORUM. JUST ONE (with more than 250 members, of course, because new forums are desperate for members/activity so they don't count) where you can EXPLICITLY, OPENLY call out the moderator for serious sin, pride, racism, or other serious evils, and not be banned.
