“Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden said marijuana was “a dangerous drug, and the illegal distribution and sale of marijuana is a serious crime,” adding that “no state can authorize violations of federal law.”
I still don’t understand this position. What makes marijuana anymore dangerous than alcohol or cigarettes? Both are a ‘drug’, addictive, and yet both are legal and taxed to death.
Note: I am not equating pot with heroin or meth or anything like that. It just seems that marijuana would be in the same class as alcohol and tobacco.
Whenever the subject is marijuana, the FReeper Cannabis Libertarians come out of the woodwork.
I’m in the Reserves, and we now have to p## in the bottle monthly (random select) instead of yearly (100%).
Marijuana is NOT a harmless substance, the drug laws are there for a reason, and I’m fed up with being required to prove my innocence on a regular basis because of those who disregard the law.
BTW, just what does all that dope smoking do to one’s lungs, anyway?
