FDW...I pointed out how they are different, not how one was worse than the other.....and I had already referenced NOT BEING ABLE TO BREATHE in a couple of earlier posts. It was a DIFFERENCE, and one that was of particular interest to me. People need to stop telling me what I mean. If you would take the entire thread into consideration instead of one simple sentence it would help.
Then again, I'm incoherent, condescending, paranoid and an alien.

Somehow that didn't really clarify your position on this issue to me.
I have followed the thread. I'm not just taking one sentence into consideration.
You've been an angel is this thread have you? What about...
"People who need to use it and feel oppressed because it's illegal are weak at best." - A personal attack on anyone who uses it for whatever reason
"That makes me smarter than someone who is willing to take that risk to 'relax'." - Assuming everyone who uses weed uses it for a reason you've made up. Saying that you are smarter than everyone who's used weed. How is that for arrogant? How condescending is that?
"Yet I'm a tool and I've been talked down to because I've never tried marijuana." - You completely misinterpreting my post
"Of course, as always, that got lost in your rush to school me. " - Assuming my intent
"You might want to try reading the thread again and not hit the reset button on your brain before reading each new post." - Condescending
"What the fata is it with you guys. You're completely unable to follow an argument." - Swearing and insults. How classy.
"I haven't once said marijuana is worse for you than alcohol or flipping anything for that matter." - Actually you did say that a couple posts earlier.
"Those that are desperate to justify their use of marijuana do so by making comparisons to alcohol and cigarettes." - More assumptions on your part. Why does everyone who questions our contradictory drug laws have to be "desperate" to justify their use of marijuana? What a massive assumption and generalization.
"But, yeah, that was cloudy as shinguard wasn't it.
" - more condescension
"I've figured out that you guys aren't following shinguard. I was looking for people who can actually follow what I've been saying but have been keeping quiet before I publicly bow to your superior writing skills.
Personal attacks? Name one." - Oh boy. Isn't it clear you're personally attacking a lot of people in this very message? Obviously not to you
"It's not worth arguing with people who are unwilling or incapable of presenting an argument in support of their stance that is rooted in logic" - Quite a bit of logic has been presented to you. You've disregarded it and insulted everyone.
For all the times you say people should go back and read what you've said, maybe you should try that exercise. I just did it and I get a lot of condescension, assumptions, generalizations and insults. You must have no idea how you've come across in this thread.
As for "people need to stop telling you what you mean", perhaps if you were more clear and precise with your arguments, then you wouldn't have that problem as much. People will infer things based on what you've said. It's natural, we all do it. If you point out how marijuana is worse for you than alcohol then people will think that's what you mean. We can only judge your words, not your intent and not the things you keep in your head that you assume we already know.
