we viewers were graced with the presence of a Czar this morning

(is it Tzar or Czar?)


a stupid Czar but still a Czar

John Walters our Drug Czar was on W.J.

most of what he had to say was bunkum and he mostly talked about teens and the very addictive marijuana.

isn't it interesting that we have a drug czar that doesn't know the meaning of the word addiction?

all these many teens addicted to marijuana are in therapy to get them over the addiction. and that the treatment is being done by religious groups - what a con.

he kept harping on teens and weed addiction - which is something that does not exist as weed is not addictive.

he seems to be living in a closed loop.

he says our jails are not full of pot smokers. they are full of the dealers. (anybody ever watch COPS knows pot smokers are regularly thrown in jail.)

and catch this everybody: he said drugs make you feel good so that is what gets people addicted.

feeling good is the agent that causes addiction??????

drug Czars and Czars of any stripe should run out of town.

4. Assuming, of course, that you walk & not drive,
the only thing in danger from a pot smoker is the frickin' Oreo isle at the grocery store.

This demonetization of the evil weed boggles my mind. Why doesn't the drug discussion include the countless pharmaceuticals in people's medicine cabinet? Just cuz it's prescribed doesn't mean it's safe.

5. one of the callers asked just that and he said:

that the addiction was part of the medical treatment and the docs would moniter. he did add that some times people doctor shop, etc. and of course that was against the law. but never owned up to the fact that patients addicted to pharma pills are doctor's bread and butter.
