Citation? This isn't some fact you can look up somewhere and cite here. This is a logical clause that can easily be refuted. Next time you ask for a citation, bother reading the last post:
"Argument from nature is the strongest argument the affirmative side can muster. Unfortunately it is an extremely weak and flawed argument. It does not stand up to scrutiny when you consider what else nature has given us; 1000's of types of poison, rampant murder and rape, cannibalism and theft, etc." -Gorman. |
Things that are poisons for the human body aren't necessarily poison for other elements of the eco-system, rampant murder & rape aren't things given by nature, they're behaviours adopted by certain species in certain situations, it's the result of one's developpement in a certain environment, that's not what "natural" means.
We're not the most important thing nature has done, we're just a tiny part of the eco-system, something being bad for your body doesn't mean it's not important for the balance of the rest.
Maybe if you had a citation from some illustrous professor in some big university or a serious informative website, a reliable and trustworthy source to back-up your claim other than gorman's previous post... [I'm doing a gorman, asking for citations whenever someone tries to make a point, pretty effective to make a steril discussion, or pretty much what you've all been doing]
Your perception of what's good and wrong is totally subjective.
Your main point against marijuana is : it "dulls the mind", and you find this wrong. But if someone is slower to process an information, doesn't mean the result of his thoughts is inevitably "less right" than someone sober. You judge the substance wrong to be used by healthy people, you've never experienced a long philosophical meditation about the state of the world while being high as fuck.
In fact I don't even know why I'm trying to argue with you, you just don't know what the fuck it is, how would you have any viable point of view on the subject.
