Joe Rogan: Unless there's scientific proof that marijuana is a performance enhancing drug that gives an unfair advantage it should not be restricted.

You gave me a peer reviewed journal about piss testing. I already addressed that. I explained to you what a metabolite is, how it is created. I don't understand what you're not getting about this?

Do you understand that what you're saying is essentially the same as claiming that you can still feel pain relieving effects from Tylenol a week later even though a dose is only effective for 4-6 hours? Or saying that you still feel drunk a week after drinking a 6 pack? That's how ridiculous what you're saying is.

You're right that I didn't read the peer reviewed journal that you gave me. You quoted a part about urine testing which was irrelevant to the discussion at hand. If you don't even understand the basis of your own argument why the hell should I devote that much time to trying to educate you? Sit around and be ignorant if you want, you'd be in good company. No skin off my back unless you get into politics.

You do realize that what you are arguing flies in the face of not only common sense but the experiences of millions of pot smokers? We're not arguing about the effects of some obscure research chemical here, we're talking about a drug that a majority of people have some experience with. You're sitting here telling me that you can feel a difference in your reaction times a week after you smoke pot. You are literally the only person I have ever seen make that claim. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I don't need to dig through scientific journals to prove something that is common knowledge. You're the one claiming ridiculous shit, you go find the evidence to support it. And quote the relevant bits next time so you don't undermine your own argument.

I have no interest in being pulled into some kind of research project to prove you wrong. I don't need to prove you wrong. Your claims are so far outside of the bounds of shared experience among people who smoke pot that they border on tinfoil hat bullshit. I shouldn't have even dignified them with a response, I'm certainly not going to waste my time doing google research for you.

To sum this all up, you didn't do anything except make a bullshit claim and quote irrelevant information to support it. If you're hell bent on dragging this out any further, find one shred of evidence supporting the claim that marijuana can affect reaction times a week after ingestion. Or better yet, find something better to do with your life than waste it digging through scientific journals hunting for something that doesn't exist so you can prove a nameless stranger wrong on the internet to satisfy your own ego.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have better things to do. Spare me a response unless you actually have something to offer of interest, like, I dunno... evidence instead of ad hominem.
