If you read my post I was wondering how many folks, like yourself Gary, have direct experience. You read into it that I thought their opinion was less valid.
I did not say that.

Folk like myself?
I presume you mean people who are happy with the status quo as it is, regarding recreational drugs being illegal?
Presumably those that have posted they'd like the law changed have had some personal experience with taking illegal drugs. As I doubt many would bother arguing that recreational drugs should be made legal if they hadn't, and indeed many have already given that information as fact.
So your questioning whether the other opinions given in this thread are based on actual 'experience', rather seems like you're trying to invalidate anyone's opinion who hasn't had a direct invovement with illegal drugs, even though they are happy for recreational drugs to remain illegal.
Again, as stated already, if you read what's actually been posted, the majority of people have given reasons, as to why they think what they do on this issue.
Also using the term 'sound off', when referring to those peoples' views being aired, could be seen as both patronising, and dismissive.
Nothing to do with the thread, but please use my username, when referring to myself. Thank you.
