On November 3, Montel Williams was briefly detained at Detroit Metro Airport, where baggage screeners found a glass pipe and residue of a marijuana by-product in his bags Right next to a bag of nachos and cheese whiz...

I attempted to use some. Oxycontin and Vicodin are extremely addictive. Percocet didn't work. and Marijuana isn't addictive?

Dear God, an acquaintance of mine found out his 22 year old daughter is 49 year old Montel's girlfriend. This person thought he sent his daughter to NY for a college education.
The parents of the girl recently visited NY and Montel and it was one big odyssey, to begin with, the girls father looks like Bill Clinton and all of New York kept calling him Mr. President or Mr. Clinton.
His wife was with him on the trip, so there were no Monica Democrats coming out of the woodwork to offering to service him on their knees. (He wouldn't do that anyway)
The parents are uncomfortable with this relationship, but their kid is an adult and this is the case of "What can you do"?
Though Montel says he is using this for pain, he sure shows no pain while in his company and moves around like a teenager according to everyone around Montel.
I'm not against a real need, but I bet the young girlfriend's parents are going to worry about the drug issue.
I will forward this article to them.

If your choice is Percocet, Vicodan, Oxycontin, or pot -- It's a no-brainer that pot poses the least health risk -- unless you are gunned down by a Drug War Nazi.
"How Dangerous is Marijuana in Comparison to Other Substances?"
Number of American Deaths per year that result directly or primarily from the following (selected) causes nationwide, according to World Almanacs, Life Insurance Actuarial (death) Rates, and the last 18 years of the U.S. Surgeon General's Reports.
Tobacco....................................340,000 to 395,000
Alcohol (not includeing 50% of all highway deaths and 65% of all murders).....125,000+
Aspirin (including deliberate overdose).... 180 to 1,000+
Caffeine (from stress, ulcers and triggering irregular heartbeats, etc.)........ 1,000 to 10,000
'Legal' drug overdose (deliberate or accidental) from legal, prescribed or patent medicines and/or mixing with alcohol e.g. Valium/alcohol... 14,000 to 27,000
Illicit drug overdose (deliberate or accidental) from all illegal drugs................................ 3,800 to 5,200
marijuana (including overdose)........................... 0 (zero)

I thought the "security" screening process was to find potentially dangerous items and potentially dangerous people so that they wouldn't be able to get on an airplane full of innocent people.
Glad those screeners are putting so much time and attention into this type of thing. I feel safer already. </sarcasm>

I've already passed the word to my immediate family. If I am EVER diagnoised with cancer one of the 1st things to be purchased and *special brownies* will become a regular part of my diet. I don't smoke the stuff...for some reason I get too high and pass out if I do. And it's illegal to have. However, I could always eat the special brownies and plan to if needed.
Medicinal purposes aside. I've always thought pot should be legalized and taxed like booze and smokes. The $$$ that would be saved via law enforcement and the smaller prison population would be astronomical. The tax revenue it would bring in from direct sales and related businesses would be huge as well.
Just my 2 cents:)
