That marijuana is a "gateway" drug.
...or even a "drug" at all.

It's all about the power from pharma, alcohol, and tobacco that marijuana is still inexplicably a banned substance subject to criminal charges - absolutely insane!

Add in the overwhelming attack from corporate and right-wing America from "drug tests" that detect nothing but marijuana due to it's latency in the system.
