It's illegal for me to get a blowjob in my home state, yet that's not going to stop me from receiving one as I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

There's a visual I would have forgone, given the choice. Since you chose to so encumber me without authorization, I'm sure you won't mind if I reciprocate in kind.............how'd ya get the vet to pull the dog's front teeth? :)
Otherwise, I'd say you have a good exuse for political activism in Michigan, pardner.

I feel your mom's argument is utter crap as well, and there are at least reams of scientific studies to back me up on that. Marijuana has the potential to debilitate and cause physical harm, yet compared to most drugs, both illicit or regulated, it is relatively harmless. Yes, smoking anything is not good for your lungs, but a recent study suggests that the tar in marijuana smoke may be less harmful than that in cigarettes due to the chemical nature of the cannabinoids found in it. Mind you, no definite conclusions can be made, but it certainly goes along well with the fact that lung cancer has not been strongly associated with marijuana smoking.

Excellent.....I'm sure my mom will say pot's fine now...........NOT. More likely she will switch to Dad's argument, or remind me that smoking that much of anything will decrease the efficiency of the lung's incredible ability to convert O2 into CO2 which will cause a strain on the heart because of the need to pump more blood to get the necessary oxygen throughout the body.
Which is what killed Dad, by the way---heart failure.

On top of this, the number of ailments for which this drug may be used as effective treatment is astounding. Evidence keeps piling up that the medical value of this drug is great, and this is completely aside from the recreational use of it. While I will admit that the medical marijuana movement is an attempt by some as a stab at a broader legalization strategy, this does not make all of the overwhelming support from real scientific and medical studies disappear.

You wouldn't happen to have this evidence in your bookmarks, perchance? I need all the help I can get with Mom.
