It's such a shame that they are destined now to become meth addicts, whores, and generally shameful people. It's just to bad that they won't be able to form a coherent thought anymore. If only we could do something about it like legalize the product, regulate it, Thereby taking the money out of the black market which provides it to underage girls.... ahhhhh if only if only we could do that... but alas those things are impossibru!!!!

You realize alcohol is a drug right? And the comment about drinking in your boat is BS. I remember a report you posted a while back. Said you got your limit or trout now you were working on your limit of these...and you had a pic of a salty grub on a jighead hooked to a miller light can.

Hawg... I was very very clearly referring to the current system where these young ladies would be quite possibly doomed once it became know to law enforcement that they had rebelled.

I am not a proponent of selling weed to teenagers, I clearly responded earlier in this thread that I could not support selling of weed to teenagers, because they are the one and ONLY group (from 13-19 years of age) who have been shown through scientific study to have a long term impact on the growth of their brain if the have heavy cannabis abuse during that time period.

And honestly, "W" questioning my parenting skills, after he hasn't even answered my question on whether it's appropriate that cannabis based medication, scientifically PROVEN to help reverse alzheimer's should be allowed to be used to treat her.

W's approval is not something that i or frankly anyone else on this site, should use as a benchmark to prove anything.

Please note what i said in the post he is referring to " legalize the product, regulate it, Thereby taking the money out of the black market which provides it to underage girls.... " By taking the money out of the black market where drugs are sold illegally and legalizing,and regulating... you will severely impact the availability of the product to underage people who should not be getting it. Basically it's supply and demand laws at work. With sales to people of legal age going to government regulated shops, the availability of black market weed to underage people will drop.

See what i am getting at here? so please W & Hawg... Look a little bit more closely at what i'm saying.

please quote said "own words" in context of the whole darn message and explain to me how i was saying that we should sell drugs to teens.

Now in the style of MG. If your critical thinking skills didn't allow you to understand clear english enough, and more importantly my further explanation enough, then perhaps you should relegate yourself to just catching trout.

Seriously W... i did not say give drugs to teens. If you read that i did, either you misread or i framed it in a way you did not understand.

W, do you want your teenage girl having sex? Is underage sex legal, or should it be made illegal?

Did you ever drink alcohol when you were underage? How bout drink and go looking for some tail? One is legal, one is not, both can ruin lives - lets apply the 3 strike rule to these things too. Better yet, underage drinking or pre marital sex yield a minimum 15yr sentence. Getting hammered underage AND getting some gut at the same time should be mandatory life sentence.

Makes tons of "scents", right?

I doubt it...

Didn't you know that "W" is a saint? The pope was supposed to cannonize him
next Thursday. Fortunately they called that off when they realized that W is still alive, and therefore cannot legitimately be called a Saint yet.

I heard in a news clip that the pope's excuse was he thought W was so saintly that he didn't even need to be dead to be a saint.

I think we really dodged a bullet here... could you imagine how full of himself W would be if he were to be cannonized and made a saint.

Saint Speckled Troutus... that was to be his name.

or was it Saint Bruh....

Rather see this? By your logic, guns should be treated just the same. Lets eliminate the need for responsible parenting and taking responsibility for ones actions, and just ban everything that could cause an uneasy situation.

I could accuse you of being a horrible parent for having guns, just like you accuse Ace of being a horrible parent for even support legalization of a substance safe than alcohol. But, I won't, because I respect your opinion as a person.

Funny libertarians get accused of wanting a utopia, but in reality all these laws and rules that are meant to prevent pain and hardship are the attempt at utopia..

---BURKESVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A 5-year-old boy accidentally shot his 2-year-old sister to death in rural southern Kentucky with a rifle he had received as a gift last year, authorities said.

The children's mother was home at the time of the shooting Tuesday afternoon but had stepped out to the front porch for a few minutes and "she heard the gun go off," Cumberland County Coroner Gary White said. He said the rifle was kept in a corner and the family didn't realize a bullet was left inside it.

White told the Lexington Herald-Leader the boy received the .22-caliber rifle as a gift.

"It's a Crickett," White said, referring to a company that specifically makes guns, clothes and books for children. "It's a little rifle for a kid. ... The little boy's used to shooting the little gun."---

They difinately won't die from weed poisoning but alcohol poisoning kills ppl. Face it! You don't like it bc you were scared into not liking it. Nothing bad about it that's u but don't bash it and say someone is a bad person for doing it when they can smoke it tit for tat with u taking shots and they can drive and walk while if you took shots all night you couldn't walk, drive, or possibly not survive.
