No. It's an illegal substance.

Yes. Your point?

Yes. Your point?


Both 'drink' and 'prescription drugs' are *legal* substances.


Marijuana is an *illegal* substance.


Can you see the difference??

GM replies:

merry, a piece of friendly advice:

Please don't waste your time responding to "Lucas". A number of folks here
have not only him killfiled, but also killfilethose who regularly respond to
him or "engage" him ("Omelet" and "Wayne Boatwright" are two of these...)..
Not responding to him cuts down *considerably* on the high "signal/noise
ratio" that he and his "fans" plague this group with.
