Perhaps more weight and clarity could be shown in this story if we add the small fact that this is Representative Andy Harris M.D., an anesthesiologist of 30 years practice and a graduate of Johns Hopkins. Thus I give him a little more leeway when he talks about medical situations.

And before people get too tied up by his discussion of something not currently allowed, would anyone believe that we would be where we are now in this marijuana legalities and usage just 10 years ago? Rep. Harris is just trying to make something clear BEFORE they try to push the envelope AGAIN!

He's doing more than that - he's trying to prevent the D.C. Council from using any federal funds to enact pot policy changes.

Harris remaining silent on alcohol is telling. There is no substance more destructive to a teen brain than booze. Whether impaired judgment, overdose, or drunk driving, booze is a much greater threat yet none of the Drug Warriors wish to take a stand against their precious drug of choice.

And then there is the legal speed, anti-depressants, pain pills, and all the other crap Docs like him shove down kids throat without even giving an afterthought to the consequences. Harris can take his medical background and shove it. Doctors are the biggest drug dealers in the country.

If we live our lives in fear of “what about the children” everything will be outlawed. I don’t want my “child” driving a 1000hp supercar or a high performance sport bike yet they remain available for adults. That argument falls apart rather quickly. The infantalization of America continues by both corrupt parties in this country and they can take their nanny state and shove it.
