37. Wow - they really tried to pass off that bullshit argument?

the eventual response i got from the WH regarding the legality of marijuana was downright insulting. "it is a leading cause of voluntary hospital admissions among teenagers"?

The reason for this has nothing to do with marijuana - it has to do with a legal system that allows people to dismiss charges if they'll go into rehab.

However, NORML noted that people who go into rehab have, on avg, abstained from cannabis use for one month prior.

THAT is not what happens when someone has an addiction to a substance.

The utter BULLSHIT behind this whole situation is incredible. It's SHAMEFUL for Democrats to propagate this sort of "lie by omission" because they don't want to deal with reality. Seems like the federal govt. is the one that has a substance abuse problem.
