this whole coffee argument is retarded,

For the love of all that is good, it's not a fricking argument. That came from a joking discussion I was having with a guy who said something about "people spending that much on coffee" or something along those lines. That gave me a idea to do a compare and contrast on pot vs. coffee. I goggled it and found the average price of a cup of coffee in the US sits at $1.38. You do know what "average" means, right? That means that's the price in the middle. Being in the middle means there will be coffee prices much lower (gas stations) and much higher (Starbucks). The norm when comparing two things is to look at the "average". Had I an agenda here I would have taken the low end of the coffee scale (.50 cent at the gas station) and compared it only to the highest pot number ($400 per ounce on Colorado) to try and "prove" whatever anti-pot point you think I was trying to make. But that is not what I did.

And for the record... The only retarded argument to be had here is you getting too damn paranoid and defensive over your pot. Here's a hint for all the pot smokers out there... Stop being so fricking defensive when someone who does not smoke pot wants to have a discussion on the subject. You come off as being paranoid and it's quite off putting and only serves to hurt your "cause".
