On a sidenote, do not put words in people's mouths and do not assume anything about anyone else because I guarantee that it will only come back to hurt you. Oregon Elephant didn't say any of what you acted like he said. If your major "tactical" intention is to be repeatedly throwing out such false implications and "strawman" arguments like you've been doing, it would seem your credibility in the entire language arts division of debate is lacking, let alone your credibility on this specific topic.

Is there something specific that you don't get about debate? This is not the "tell me a story from your personal life" hour, this is a "prove what you're saying or shut the hell up" debate--to put it bluntly. Obviously it's still your prerogative to continue rambling incessantly about your irrelevant "experiences" but the only thing that's accomplishing is the deterioration of your position in this debate. Provide support, stop putting words in other debaters' mouths and for God's sake, make some actual logical comparisons...

Both caffeine and marijuana increase the dopamine levels in the individual (although caffeine also increases adrenaline levels and has other effects not associated with marijuana use). Caffeine is addictive whereas marijuana is not. In many ways that morning cup of coffee is far more dangerous than smoking marijuana.
