Jeb Bush: Political reporters are 'crack addicts'

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Excuse my ignorance Evylin and thank you for the english lesson... But I think that maybe you should "keep calm and eat a cupcake"..

1) I wasn't calling you ignorant.

2) I wasn't giving you an English lesson.

3) You are not the person who called it 'substance abuse', so the response was not directed at you.

4) I don't eat cupcakes.

Is somebody that only masturbated a few times a self-abuser?

no, a self-reliever.

[JensJrny2Ray 367]

So someone who smokes marijuana a few times is a substance abuser? On par with DUIs and cocaine habits? Okay then.

No, marijuana is not addictive.

No, marijuana is not addictive.

Denial is the first lie of someone with an addiction problem. Another example would be, "I am not addicted, I could quit anytime."

Evidence for cannabis dependence comes from a number of sources including epidemiological surveys,[5][6][7][8] studies of long-term users,[9][10] clinical trials of people seeking treatment,[11][12][13] controlled experiments on withdrawal and tolerance [14][15][16] and laboratory studies on cannabis brain mechanisms.[17]

True that

Then you should not have quoted my post in your response...

I quoted your response because it mentioned whether or not marijuana was illegal and I said that's not really the topic at hand.

Sorry for the confusion.
