and yes, we're still stuck on stupid with drugs

They probably started off with milk and then went to beer

I love the beat down issued to the gateway theory on drugs and the zero fatality reference on pot. At least some sanity is being issued regarding the stupid and indefensible theories thrown up by parental advocacy and the present wasteful drug war policies that espouses.

Tennessee (Cohen's home state) has a rather odd conglomeration of drug policies regarding pot itself. For example, they charge a fine on top of any possession penalty for failing to register use or distribution of pot with the state licensing bureau even though it is illegal to distribute or use.

Ha! So stupid it's funny. Almost.

All that guy had in response was to look down at his table. No one has any good arguments for keeping it illegal. Social/cultural inertia at work! At least we're not as bad as the far East. Some of those countries have real harsh penalties against pot.

True. Japan treats pot the same as heroin. We only sort of do, by winking at it but having the same basic penalties for distribution and possession.

Oh and "that guy" is in charge of the FBI by the way.
