Ad hominem, more than slightly pathetic surely. I gave a serious answer
If you think there is something wrong about my analysis-debate that.

Your continued attempts to incriminate and demonize cannabis are also
perceived as ad hominem attacks by people like me who happen to be
passionate cannabis users.
The very fact that you insist that adults who use cannabis responsibly
have to be criminalized, while maintaining that moderate and
responsible alcohol use by adults is quite acceptable is a grave
insult, regardless of how this position is justified (like claiming
that regulating cannabis in a similar way to alcohol would send out
the wrong signal to children or legalizing cannabis would only add to
problems associated with legal drugs like tobacco and alcohol, like as
if there are no problems associated with cannabis prohibition).

I was merely pointing out the fact that you have worked closely with
the Swedish Hassela Foundation, who are a bunch of demented nutters.
It is a valid comparison to say that a "drug expert" working closely
with Hassela is rather like a scientist working closely with the Flat
Earth Society. That is not ad hominem, it is making a perfectly valid
statement about his credibility.
