I was just wondering, is there any particular reason we had to endure Death Adder's uneducated, tunnel-vision rant about pot use and legalization on a ferret dialogue list? Besides being almost entirely non-factual, the post was offensive in its ignorance. My best friend, whose sister was killed in a car accident by a driver who was so toked-up he could barely see straight, and in his euphoric pot-saturated haze slammed head-on into her car without even tapping the brakes, would be very interested in Death Adder's blanket statement, "Pot smokers when stoned don't travel". Believe me, she dearly wishes that were true. Can we stick to topics that have something to do with ferrets? I realize he did throw one sentance about ferrets into that post, but almost as an afterthought. The bulk of it did not belong on this list and was potentially very hurtful to anyone who has experienced that pot smokers can, and do, harm other people when they get stoned and attempt to do everyday activities in a drug-induced haze. And just so my post doesn't also seem completely off-topic, here's my opinion - pot smoke will kill ferret brain cells and irritate the lining of a ferret's lungs just like it does to the humans who don't know enough not to use it. - Heather W. [Moderator's note: Yes, it was mostly off-topic (another was rejected actually, so I'm not *entirely* clueless, just partly ;-)), though I do think the topic of using drugs around ferrets and/or giving drugs -- recreational or otherwise -- to ferrets is worthy of discussion, even if we get to it in a roundabout way. The results may not be what some expect and the FML is here to educate, after all. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 4309]
