I agree, but I understand where the "speak no evil" tactic sprung from. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17356507 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17356507 The parent comment I was replying to seemed to be basing his position on one piece of anecdata and little else, thus my comment. I don't see what in my comment elicited your response but I do agree with your general thesis, with the caveat that I see it as a potentially-necessary response to counteract extensive demonization/fear-mongering by the state and temperance league style organizations. That said, the time for that tactic I feel is over, as the public is now beyond the "reefer madness"-style knee-jerk anti-cannabis bias.
