I suspect this is supposed to be an insult, but calling someone sophistic... I don't know what you are trying to say...

I just quoted from 4 of your posts over a span of more than 100 posts in this thread. It's pretty rude to then say "derp you didn't even read my posts".
It's pretty obvious when you say things such as "420 YEAH BLAZE IT FGTS!"...
You also seem to think there are no negative or long term health effects from marijuana, which is very wrong.
Your opinions appear to be based on logical fallacies and probably incorrect assumptions, considering your conclusion. I linked you to a few good sources so you can educate yourself, so there's no need to say "DURR I CAN SMOKE POT IF I WANT TO".
Once again I implore you to educate yourself. Those who hold on to opinions based on lack of knowledge and fallacies are a huge cancer in today's society.

No, I am saying cigs should be outlawed. Such a major cause of death is easily preventable, just because people enjoy it doesn't mean it's a huge drain on society and a waste of human life.
Your second statement seems to be attempting to provoke me in to saying that long term degeneration from marijuana is regarded by many as being as cruel and harmful as cigarettes.
If you are talking in terms of pure deaths, then of course cigarettes are more harmful.
However because marijuana has been illegal for so long it's practically impossible to make predictions as to the primary or secondary damage that may be caused by widespread use.
In other words, you are trying to force me to compare something that has been illegal for a long time vs something that has been legal for a long time. It's impossible, so please don't try to make such convoluted, logically frail arguments.

Perhaps your weed-addled brain can't manage to transfer your short term memory to your long term...
You said this a day ago and you can't even remember...
