22. Marijuana IS less harmful than tobacco.

Nicotine is physically addictive - not so for marijuana.

Smoking tobacco correlates with an increase in lung diseases - not so for marijuana.

Here's a bipartisan group that wants to FORCE anyone who is in possession of marijuana into drug treatment - even tho marijuana is less harmful and less addictive than either nicotine or alcohol.

You know, this is the reality. Those in positions of power in the federal govt. are, basically. LIARS for their own career enhancement and b/c they're part of a system that is so corrupt it cannot correct its mistakes.

U.S. policy regarding cannabis is a mistake based upon lies and it has been for more than 70 years.

What the Czar SHOULD be worried about is how the fed's treatment of marijuana causes Americans to lose respect for govt or the rule of law. The drug warriors are the ones who are causing damage to teenagers.

I'm so sick of the propaganda.

It pays well, though, doesn't it?
