I just watched Barry Maccaffrey talk about legalizing pot on MSNBC. He is one stupid guy. And dead wrong (on everything to do with drug abuse) and I will never forgive Clinton for naming him our drug czar.

I wish they would interview me. I wrote our first State Plan for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and I was the State Director.

I have credentials-lol.

Pot should be treated like alcohol for many reasons not the least of which are:

Pot is less harmful than alcohol to both the individual and society (especially society). It has been studied to death despite what people say. Pot acts like a sedative. Calms people down.

Pot is not lethal, is not habit forming i.e. has no withdrawl problems. With alcohol, withdrawl can cause delirium tremens (DT's) and even death. Alcohol is a very lethal poison. And pot is not and does not cause brain damage like alcohol.

Fetal alcohol syndrome is pandemic in the nation as well as crack babies, etc. You never hear of fetal pot syndrome (although pregnant mothers should not smoke pot or anything else for that matter, or drink or take any drugs.

Legalizing pot would greatly cut down on organized crime just as ending prohibition did.

Good lord.
