You would enrage the gun advocate by doing so, but compare the gun to marijuana. Both are harmful -- or are they? The gun advocate will swear by the gun. He will argue it saves more lives than it takes. He will argue that without it, our nation would lose its freedom. And, the Mary Jane user? He, too, will swear by what he uses. No one ever died from a weed overdose, he will say. It's harmless. It's medicinal. It releases creative juices and has helped some of the best musicians craft some amazing music.
In that, they are the same. Gun lovers justify their guns, and Mary Jane users justify their Mary Jane.
