All about the ratings and shouting down the opposition.

She's like an uglier Glenn Beck.

The myths of marijuana: Former DEA chief says pot legalization a 'disaster'

He may have been a high ranking official but this paragraph just sounds crazy:

Quote:
It “will damage the young people in that state. It will damage the industries in the state, and put the highways in jeopardy,” he said. “Plus, it's against federal law and the Constitution and our international treaties.”
I agree that right now it's against federal law, and some international treaties - both of which could be re-done in a short period of time, but not quite sure that the Constitution says anything on marijuana.

He certainly shows that not everyone is jumping on the marijuana train though.

^ Thankfully the crazies are getting drowned out by logical rational thinking.

Pure BS and fear mongering...

Quote:
“You'll dissipate a drink in about an hour per drink; marijuana can stay in your body for a week,” he said. “It goes to where we're fattest, which is our brain. … It causes short-term memory loss if used chronically. It impacts on the immune system if used regularly. It affects your depth perception.”

He said recent statistics show a spike in traffic fatalities from drivers high on pot and a significant influx in hospital emergency room visits due to overuse of the drug.

Taking kids away from "pothead" parents. Very unfortunate

Does medical marijuana equal bad parenting? - CNN.com
I almost married a girl who came from an alcoholic household growing up. You dont want to hear the stories.

Believe me when i say this, in fact Ill push all my chips in on this; i much rather have parents smoke pot than have parents who are alcoholics.

Bottomline is children shouldnt be subjected to any household where substance abuse exist. Its a terrible experience.

This is crazy:
Quote:
In cases involving removal of children, medical marijuana found in the home would seem to be barely distinguishable from other Schedule I substances -- such as heroin or ecstasy.
"CPS handles (cases) the same way regardless of what the drug ... is," said Michael Weston, deputy director of public affairs and outreach programs at the California Department of Social Services. "Everything is weighed in reference to, 'Is this a danger to the child? Is there a potential harm to the child? Is this showing signs of abuse or neglect?'"
Just more ways that the war on drugs has done more collateral damage in terms of lost lives and families then marijuana use ever has.

Re: War on Drugs Cant Be Won, According to Global Leaders

Classifying pot along with hardcore drugs like heroin is just insanity. Glad to see the weed movement in full swing, it's about damn time to reverse this BS.

Veteran: My search for a PTSD cure led me to the Amazon - CNN.com

Interesting take, I would support this kind of research. I continue to hear extremely bad things about the VA hospitals and treatment.

Re: War on Drugs Cant Be Won, According to Global Leaders

I find it interesting that in Alaska, 115K people voted to legalize pot, and 116K voted for a Republican Congressman. Really hoping that the Republican base is moving away from some of the old social conservative ethos.

of course it's probably more an age thing:
breakdown from CNN.com
Age: percentage of total vote
YES
NO
18-29: 19%
59%
41%
30-44: 27%
59%
41%
45-64: 41%
49%
51%
65 and older: 13%
40%
60%
