I like to post a list of links with no explanation of the topic being discussed other than a very generalized topic title as well. Did you copypasta the "References" section of the "Marijuana" article at Wikipedia?

Nothing more's stopping you from doing that if you want ~snipped unnecessary baiting comment~ Frankly, any explanation would be more fitting for a Kavar's entry, since that's supposed to be about "debating"/discussing an issue.

 

Cool it, please--no need to create fire with your smoke thread. If you could give a little explanation to the wall of links, that would be most helpful in guiding the direction of the topic, as well. If I didn't know you better, I'd say it looks like a spam thread, but I know you have some purpose here so I'll look forward to seeing what it is once you edit it into the OP. Thanks. --Jae

I have to admit to being somewhat confused as to your purpose as well Totenkopf...even if it's simply to inform it would seem that at least a small summary or something would be called for. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but the list of links was a bit ambiguous.

 

That said...meh on the whole thing. I'm over the whole marijuana debate. Stoners just want to get high and they'll find a way to do it regardless of the legality.

Actually, it was just a rash of pot/tobacco related stories stories that happened to hit at about the same time. No hidden agenda here. Just a general interest kind of thing.

 

I do agree with your overall assessment about the issue of pot use in general. Like condomns, alcohol, porn, etc.. most people have likely made up their mind to one degree or another about whether the stuff should be legal or not or under what circumstances and whether they wish to use the stuff themselves.
