> James - I am confused. I am sure that I have seen you mention that you smoke pot - an illegal activity. Have you had some kind of epiphany about breaking the law? A law like the one that determines which drugs must be prescribed by a physician and which ones are OTC. How is this different? - Jane

Hi James.
I think I know where I'm heading with all of this, but I want to be able to take in what everyone else has offered.
Actually, this is just a brief comment/question. I don't think it is necessary for you to address the issue regarding your illegal acts. As I understand the point being made, the real question is whether or not you suggest to others on Psycho-Babble that they smoke pot and tell them where they can get it.
Do you?
I've never seen you do it. If you haven't, then, as I see it, there is no incompatability between your position on this issue and your described behaviors.
