Feds stick to court argument that marijuana is dangerous
The U.S. attorney’s office, representing Obama’s Justice Department, made the argument in a court filing Wednesday opposing a challenge to the long-standing federal law that classifies marijuana as a Schedule One drug along with heroin, LSD and ecstasy — substances that have a high potential for abuse and no safe medical use.

I simply stated "It impairs judgement" you took it from there to here.
I asked a simple question, and you asked one back.. so I answered. You were just as much part in the escalation of this discussion as I was.
I never "escalated this discussion" your attempts were adequately rebuffed.
Again, your opinion. You took as much part in this discussion as I did.
"Your personal experience?" LOL," You took as much part in this discussion as I did.". Yep, kept you on track.
What? I think you're a little confused.
Oh, "Your personal experience?" response was deleted, does that mean I can't respond?
I never posted that, and imokruok's comment still exists. Feel free to respond if you like.
I apologize.
No biggie, figured you just mis-clicked or something...
Author was/is overlooked.
Did I say something wrong? I wasn't aware this was a private conversation.
No. It isn't /wasn't.
