69. Yes there is an actual danger. Putting a substance in my body that I am
Sun Dec 9, 2012, 06:29 PM
Dec 2012

unfamiliar with does pose a danger.

Regardless of whether there was a danger or not what is EVEN WORSE is that is putting something in my body without my consent (no, I am not implying it is the same as rape at all) is wrong. It would be similar to someone asking for a low calorie item and feeding them an extra high calorie item - no actual danger but wrong as hell. Some people have done stuff like that to their spouse because they like a chubbier body for example.

I agree riverbendviewgal Dec 2012 #1

Wrong. The professor blacked out, according to the University. pnwmom Dec 2012 #139
She didn't black out. She wasn't driving. No one was hurt. morningfog Dec 2012 #146
I don't understand how you can say that. The head of the history department said she "blacked out." pnwmom Dec 2012 #151
I would concur PatrynXX Dec 2012 #58

I agree. And it would also be punishable by law. morningfog Dec 2012 #20

It won't be. CO and WA aren't going to be repealing legalization. morningfog Dec 2012 #119
And nobody thought the 18th amendment could be ratified in 5 years. They did it in 2. jeff47 Dec 2012 #122
How's that 18th Amendment working out now? morningfog Dec 2012 #124
And that's supposed to provide comfort how? jeff47 Dec 2012 #126

This has nothing to do with legalization. Do you support legalization? morningfog Dec 2012 #145

You can't stop idiots from being idiots ToxMarz Dec 2012 #44
This has nothing to do with legalization. morningfog Dec 2012 #49
Yes, it has "nothing" to do with legalization. ... but, it will be used as a tool against RKP5637 Dec 2012 #56
Only by those who advance that argument. I am saying we should fight that. morningfog Dec 2012 #75
Agree!!! n/t RKP5637 Dec 2012 #82
At this point anything can have something to do with legalization. ToxMarz Dec 2012 #98
If it were illegal, would they have had the pot to begin with? Same argument as for guns? Honeycombe8 Dec 2012 #65
It has happened, many times in places where it is illegal. morningfog Dec 2012 #74
And so it is with guns, whether legal or illegal. So the use of guns is not connected with thecrimes Honeycombe8 Dec 2012 #90
It was illegal. The amendment has not been signed yet. morningfog Dec 2012 #125
Yep, it provides ammunition against pot, they will use it as a tool to say, see what happened in CO. RKP5637 Dec 2012 #55

It doesn't. I don't think the average person would know a pot brownie from kestrel91316 Dec 2012 #67
YOu can smell and taste pot in brownies too. morningfog Dec 2012 #76
if you wash the butter, or if you don't know what pot tastes like u don't. blaming the victims? bettyellen Dec 2012 #87
Blaming the victims is messed up. freshwest Dec 2012 #93
Calm down. That isn't what I said. morningfog Dec 2012 #105
you said the victims should have known. creepy! and I'm hella calm, but gee thanks for the concern! bettyellen Dec 2012 #120
Creepy? morningfog Dec 2012 #121
your statement was pretty emphatic, and I guess you are now saying.... pointless? bettyellen Dec 2012 #128
Whatever. morningfog Dec 2012 #129
The average person is likely not familiar with the smell and taste of pot. Dash87 Dec 2012 #103
not necessarily. uncle ray Dec 2012 #164
you would have no idea it's a pot brownie, the THC is dissolved in butter... second, dionysus Dec 2012 #94

Could you please show me where I said it more than once? I corrected it where I was aware of it. pnwmom Dec 2012 #175

"Only" three went to the hospital = 1/3 of those who consumed the brownies. pnwmom Dec 2012 #141
Repetition does not create truth from fiction. Three people to hospital, not 8. Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #66
