Rubbish.
I read and understand YOUR statements.
You give the benefit of the doubt to drinkers ("not necessarily" [to get high]), but deny that benefit to MJ smokers ("overused," "an excuse" [to get high]).
I have not presumed to condemn anyone's intentions, but have stuck with the facts:
(1) MJ is less toxic and more beneficial than EtOH (and the risks are manageable)
(2) MJ use falls under the same moral restraints as EtOH, avoidance of undue risk physically and spiritually.
If you think I have divined someone's interior disposition, quote me verbatim, (((Behar))).
I'm going to give you the last word on the subject, Mark, since you are obviously upset and angry, I can see that I'm just making it worse. I do not believe that pot and alcohol are on the same level, for reasons I've ALREADY cited, and at least one SSPX priest has said the same in a sermon, so I'm not alone there.
