Arizona attorney, during a public debate, declares cannabis using veteran "an enemy."

“With all due respect, sir, your name-calling – ‘potheads’ – offends me,” Ream said.

He told Montgomery that he was a military veteran whose health had improved as a result of medical marijuana use.

“There is a distinction between medicinal applications and recreational use,” Montgomery said.

Ream admitted that he smoked pot recreationally, as well.

“Well, then you’re violating the law, and I have no respect for you,” Montgomery said. “I have no respect for someone who would try to claim that you served this country and took an oath to uphold the Constitution and protect against all enemies foreign and domestic – because you’re an enemy.”

not a law-breaker, not holding a different opinion, "an enemy". Dollars for donuts that this is a religious right wingnut lawyer who casts all things he agrees with an Divine... and all others are "enemies".

Delusional. and Dangerous.

to run counter to everything they profess to believe in; small government, individual liberty, deification of the armed forces, etc. I get worried sometimes that I live in my own media bubble, but it just seems that most thinking people would find this asshole attorney's declaration completely asinine. (Caught in my own liberal bubble?)
