It says here that more and more studies are finding that it is addictive in addition to all the other problems it causes.
"Are there short-term dangers of smoking marijuana? Discomforts associated with smoking marijuana include dry mouth, dry eyes, increased heart rate and visible signs of intoxication such as bloodshot eyes and puffy eyelids. Other problems include: Impaired memory and ability to learn Difficulty thinking and problem solving Anxiety attacks or feelings of paranoia Impaired muscle coordination and judgment Increased susceptibility to infections Dangerous impairment of driving skills. Studies show that it impairs braking time, attention to traffic signals and other driving behaviors. Cardiac problems for people with heart disease or high blood pressure, because marijuana increases the heart rate"
I haven't clicked the link yet, but in the text you quoted, I'm having trouble finding the word "addiction".
Also, you need to distinguish between different types of addiction. For instance, all educated people know there's a difference between physical and psychological addiction. People become psychologically addicted to all sorts of things, including chocolate, sex. chat rooms, abusive spouses, etc.
You're beating around the bush again. Why don't you just save us both time and admit that you didn't have all your shit together again. I know you are proud of yourself and ask a lot of convoluted questions that your adversaries could never come up with a correct answer for, but I am on to you and I have more important things to do than play bat your word game back and forth. Have you finished reading the Federalist papers yet?
Haven't gone near the Federalist papers since I read the book two years ago, for the 2nd or 3rd time.
Onward:
You said pot was addictive. You need to be more specific about the type of addiction you're talking about, and compare with other substances like alcohol, withdrawal from which can kill a person.
The Federalist papers are not a book. If you bought a book that has a compilation of the Federalist papers in it then I guess you have a book of them.
I never said you were an idiot. Someone else did. You get confused, perhaps you should get away from your computer for a while like I do. I have far more important things to do than sit here at my computer all day long.
The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles advocating the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788 . A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist, was published in 1788 by J. and A. M?Lean[1].
The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source for interpretation of the Constitution, as they outline the philosophy and motivation of the proposed system of government.[2] The authors of the Federalist Papers wanted to both influence the vote in favor of ratification and shape future interpretations of the Constitution. According to historian Richard Morris, they are an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer." [3]
The articles were written by Alexander Hamilton (nos. 1, 6?9, 11?13, 15?17,
21?36, 59?61, and 65?85), James Madison (nos. 10, 14, 18?20, 37?58, and
62?63), and John Jay (2?5, and 64)[1]. They appeared under the pseudonym "Publius," in honor of Roman consul Publius Valerius Publicola.[4] Madison is generally credited as the father of the Constitution and became the fourth President of the United States.[5]. Hamilton was an active delegate at the Constitutional Convention, and became the first Secretary of the Treasury. John Jay became the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Federalist No. 10, which discusses the means of preventing faction and advocates for a large republic (and warns of the dangers of a democracy), is generally regarded as the most important of the 85 articles from a philosophical perspective.[6] Federalist No. 84 is also notable for its opposition to a Bill of Rights. Federalist No. 51 may be the clearest exposition of what has come to be called "Federalism."
