Marijuana is neither.

Like many other things, it is a mostly beneficial substance that can be abused in certain ways.

You must be a democrat, with your bent on control.

That's why they made us get an amendment and have it ratified by the States - then we get chance to find out and clarify exactly what "dangerous substances" means.

Federal powers are supposted to be explicitly granted by the States, not invented by lobbyists and career bureaucrats in back rooms, hidden away from the People and absent their advice and consent.

Marijuana is neither.

It is just as dangerous as Lotus leaves... and for the same reason.

Like many other things, it is a mostly beneficial substance that can be abused in certain ways.

It's abuse is inherent in it's use. It affects the brain's ability to make decisions, including about it's own consumption.

You must be a democrat, with your bent on control.

I am a conservative, not wanting to have Total Government, and not wanting to have NONE either.
