Jack asked me to compile these here, so here they are. This was in response to libertarians trying to argue that discussion of Mike Brown’s toxicology report vis. marijuana in his system was out of bounds.

On the larger topic, while I’m largely sympathetic to the Buckley school as it were of drug legalization, the tendency to argue that marijuana is harmless irritates me to no end.

One additional point. While marijuana does not tend to make most people violent, it does have the capacity to trigger and/or accentuate pre-existing or latent psychopathologies in some individuals.

Hopefully WordPress doesn’t mess up the formattting:

 

@ConservativeLA When did the libertarians hijack the narrative — talkradio200 (@talkradio200) August 18, 2014

So now the narrative is “bash the cops, ignore the weed?” I remind you of the words of John Adams: “Facts are stubborn things. — talkradio200 (@talkradio200) August 18, 2014

People saying ignore weed in Brown’s system cuz it didn’t affect his behavior. On the contrary, it explains the brand of cigars he stole. — talkradio200 (@talkradio200) August 18, 2014

No one’s arguing the weed made Brown more aggressive, but it’s worth note the brand of cigars he stole are routinely used to roll joints — talkradio200 (@talkradio200) August 18, 2014

A guy who stole Swisher Sweets was found to have marijuana in his system. And the leftist & libertarian hacks say weed is irrevelant here. — talkradio200 (@talkradio200) August 18, 2014

Amazing that so-called smart people trying to dismiss connection between theft of Swisher Sweets & weed in Brown’s system — talkradio200 (@talkradio200) August 18, 2014

The case for drug legalization must not be as strong as we’re told if we have to suppress drug use from the narrative of a criminal. — talkradio200 (@talkradio200) August 18, 2014
