How can you possibly call someone childish when you call a person names and throw empty insults at them for calmly trying to argue their own opinions? He did not ask to be deleted from the forum becuase he couldnt accept that you were providing evidence suggesting what he was saying was wrong, he left becuase while he was trying to present his argument in a debatable fashion you turned around and went on a tirade merely spouting off your stubborn opinions and in no way considering what he actually had to say.

Alot of what you mentioned I completely agree with, but the responses you gave to his argument didnt actually reflect with what was being said and seemed to instead suggest that your prisde isnt allowing you to consider that maybe what you have come to beleive may be incorrect to some degree. I felt Itchys overall message was one that completely supported the use of cannabis while at the same time incorperating the message that like any other drug it should be used in moderation. Although I dont beleive cannabis to be physically harmful to the body, when someone smokes anything they are inhaling a burning substance, bottom line something which isnt good for you.

As Itchy said, it is good to openly debate about something we are all so passionate about, and I am a firm beleiver that open discussion is a vaulable learning tool. Although I am DEFINATELY not one to "flip-flop" my opinions, I always try to keep an open mind to what is being said and never include my feelings in a discussion as what good are they when they stand toe to toe with fact. I certainly never call someone names or make offhand comments about someone whom I have never met simply because they have an unwillingness to drop their opinions and instantly accept my own. I respect you LIP becuase I know your heart is in the right place and you have proven that for the most part you know what you are talking about and have valuable things to say, but this place is for sharing opinions, so try to respect other's especially if they respect yours.

Lets stop this nonsense and burn one down, I think everyone can agree that we all share a love of the herb. :jointsmile:
