I think you're correct, but that's not how it sounds when someone says what he said while commenting about an article involving deaths where alcohol and cani. were involved.
I really expected 420Founder to correct his comment. I surprised he has not corrected his words. I assume 420Founder is deeply involved with this site... perhaps the founder... and as such, I hold him to a bit higher journalistic standards and expect his word to be accurate. I do hold folk in leadership positions to a higher standard because folks listen to them.
We (members of this site) are mostly, if not totally, devoted to the repeal of the insane laws regarding MJ. There are lots of folk in this world (apparently???) that are devoted to sustaining current drug laws. I often see quotes (on both sides) that are taken out of context and used as ammunition in the war.
If you agree with the previous paragraph, do you not feel that it's at least somewhat irresponsible for a person to make claims that can give ammunition to our opposition?
I do, and my comments are an attempt to correct the situation.
Sorry to be so socially aware here... but our opposition sure uses all these comments against us... I'm just not a fan of helping them.
We, as the legalization movement, cannot afford to make offhand comments that are open to "creative intepretation". We're the underdogs, we need to make sure our comments are clear, true, and properly understood.
Of course, perhaps I just need to chill and smoke a bowl.
Cheers!
