What might have been.....

...it's not a strawman...no matter how much you want it to be so. No more than me claiming that your argument is a strawman.
and please, just stop with the "Different type of addiction and impairment. Genotype vs phenotype." schtick.
...considering what you have said thus far on the subject, gee, why wouldn't I be "defensive"?...you might also want to research "paranoia" and it's definitions as well as it many many sources and causes which absolutely nothing to do with marijuana use.

 

Ron, whatever you want to tell yourself, go right ahead. Look, I know the science and the junk science and can tell the difference between the two. You're a big boy, its your brain to abuse. Knock yourself out.


I just find it really comical that the guys that are so outspoken about PEDs are the same guys defending pot use.

 

As you like to educate yourself on this subject, I'd point you towards data related to THC and CBD ratios. The continued selection of clones higher in THC have resulted in significantly lower CBD levels, this is where the mental health issues are likely rooted. The pot of your youth isn't what you get today.

I'm not attacking your lifestyle or choices, just the pure biochemical science and pharmacology. Its a vice, you don't need to convince anyone or rationalize an equivalent. Its your thing, leave it at that.

 

...wait a minute...that has to be one of the most asinine things I've heard in awhile...how in the hell can you accuse me of using a strawman argument when you are now correlating MLB PEDS to individual and casual mary jane use?... WTF does athletes doing PEDS have to do with me smoking pot occasionally?...that's terrible, just terrible.

...and I tell you what, go do all the fucking googling you want...link a "study" if you want, and I'll offer another one to debunk it.


...I'm already "educated" on the subject...and often times, your "studies" are skewed and your "data" is very subjective and is often the bi-product of studying the effects on lab rats and not humans...and in no way says in absolute certainty that marijuana affects everyone in the same way.

 

Oh I see...you post stoned.

 

...no, but nice lame retort...inaccurate and lame, but still nice.

...and actually, no, you don't "see".

...in the last few months you've gone from telling me who my heroes should and should not be, what computer I should and should not use, telling rick which team/s he is and is not permitted to pull for....and now you're giving medical opinions when you're clearly no more qualified to do so than the fucking cat laying next to me.

 

I rest my case on the paranoia issue.

You aren't being persecuted or told any of that shit. I only dispute bullshit when its presented as facts. And I never get personal about it, I don't have to because the evidence supports me.

So, after skillfully deflecting away from my challenge, let me use one of your expert techniques. For the second time, counter the THC/CBD data?

 

...you cannot rest your case if you have no case. What "paranoia"?...what have I said that is "paranoid"?...or untrue?

...and instead of speaking in generalities, be specific so people might know exactly what you are talking about. What fucking "data" are you babbling about?

...sorry, but I didn't "deflect away" from anything...if you'll reread, I already addressed your generality...like I said, link whatever study you want...and if I choose to, I'm sure I can offer something to the contrary. But I can see where this is going, your "data" is above reproach, and mine is not, ...right?


...and I'm still waiting to hear how PEDs in pro sports correlates to me smoking a joint.....?

 

Are you related to blg? You both seem to suffer from the same affliction.

 

not to take anything away from the great Sandy Koufax but...if you put Kershaw on Sandy's mound his numbers (Kershaw's) would improve

 

that was a good catch..but there are better ones for Bo...Im not even sure that would have went out lol

 

Leave me out of it . Don't hold it against me (or Tote) for not belonging to the group think puppet syndrome.

 

I have no idea what your puppet hang up is but you & Tom could be joined at the hip with your obsession & need to be right all the time. You two must be a real blast at parties.

 

...uhhh, tote has already clearly illustrated that he does not share your view, so I don't know how you can use him as a reference.

...love how you think people whose opinions are in the vast majority somehow are "puppets" while those in the minority are not....exactly how does that work?

 

... maybe, maybe not.

...yes, the mound height is slightly different now but you also have to consider that the hitters are also better today than they were in Koufax's day.

 

...that ball was easily over the fence...but yeah, Bo did some incredible things in MLB and the NFL.
