Natl. Drug Control Policy director lies repeatedly on c-span program

John Walters walked out of Wash. Journal with his pants burned off.

mostly and continuously he lied about maryjane.

seemed like his agenda was to bad mouth maryjane and he turned every question to doing that.

why did the bushgang have him do that this morning?

3. one of the reasons that prohibition was finally overturned was that public
health was at stake--people were dying because of all the crap/poisons etc that was bought as booze. Same thing is happening here. People are dying with all the stronger drugs on the black market.

2. The lies against MJ are so destructive.

You know young people hear from the government about how evil pot is and then they do it and realize that it's not much different then tobacco or alcohol. They have friends who smoke pot for years and have functional lives.

So then they are free to think that coke or meth must not be as bad either, which is of course a mistake.

We need to make a clearer distinction between BAD Drugs (meth, coke, heroin, oxycontin) and soft drugs (Tobacco,Alcohol, and Pot)
