Walker drops out although polling better than half the field based on the stage......

Again, I'm not buying that order.

I'm not really concerned about that part. It's perfectly fine. She referred to her as a child and failed to reveal the most important fact, that it was not illicit drugs. If her defense is she didn't know that was misleading, she is dumber than she is a liar.

Unless you think she was saying we should ban alcohol and prescriptions?

She also lied and said we "don't know how marijuana reacts with other drugs."

At best, she is not a liar but will say whatever she conveniently but wrongly believes to be true. That's worrisome.

Not trying to take up for her since I'm not her biggest fan, but I don't see her statement as being that bad. If you abuse legal drugs or legal alcohol, that is still wrong.

I don't know her exact quote, but I'm sure that she was affected negatively by family drug use. Why use her statement about a family tragedy against her, to try to make her look bad?

If you don't even know her exact quote, let alone the context surrounding it, why did you take issue with my points?

Of course she is entitled to an opinion on it and there is plenty of debate to be had.

The issue is the way she presented the facts of the situation. She made it dramatic and gave the impression that for example her own teenage child od'd. Did she say exactly that? No. But if this is true, it makes it seem like it was .. tweaked... to give a more sympathetic impression.

So there is no chance that she had genuine feelings to express about it?

I am sure she has some genuine feelings about it, but if you knew the context and the quote, you might understand what I'm driving at.

The conversation was about marijuana and she is trying to imply it's more dangerous than alcohol while she tells a personal story of her step-daughter dying of ALCOHOL, not marijuana use and not illicit drug use. Somehow she left that part out.

A legal drug can become an illegal drug if bought off the street in a certain quantity, can it not? I am asking our resident drug expert since I am not one by any stretch. I barely even take a drink on rare occasion. I like to keep all of my faculties.

So you tried to argue with me before you even knew what she said and now you are trying to argue based on a technicality you aren't sure actually exists.

Just let it go, man.

I saw the debate live. I heard her say what she said, but I'm sorry that I can't quote it verbatim.
The "technicality" is whether or not it is illegal to sell mass quantities of a legal drug (something like oxycontin) on the street. Does that make it an illicit drug or not?

You haven't called sh!t Huff. You just desperately want to score points against any Republican. You have failed here.

Go roll yourself another meth doobie, and shoot it up your nose with a needle, or whatever you people do.

Here is her quote. I find nothing misleading about her quote.

“I very much hope that I’m the only person on the stage that can say this,” remarked a somber Fiorina. “My husband Frank and I buried a child to drug addiction,” she said, her grief evident. Adding that due to personal experience, she agreed with Rand Paul who said there ought to be a focus on rehabilitative measures rather than incarceration, and that she believes should be allowed to make their own marijuana laws.

Fiorina added, however:

“We are misleading young people when we tell them that marijuana is just like having a beer. It’s not. And the marijuana that kids are smoking today is not the same as the marijuana that Jeb Bush smoked 40 years ago.”
