Crouch TREAT MARIJUANA AS ILLEGAL DRUG Am I the only person in this country who sees the total absurdity of marijuana being illegal ... yet, anyone with depression, or an upset stomach or a painful hang-nail can go to a "doctor" and get a prescription (permission) to get totally wasted every night! Recently Charlie (Two and a Half Men) did just that after a pusher (oops) doctor gave him a prescription for glaucoma. He came home and got high with his housekeeper after he got the drug legally! She said "God, I love this country ... no more sneaking out behind the shed to get loaded." It is just crazy to see a huge ad in the newspaper offering "an illegal drug" to people! Users (patients) say it's only a harmless herb and they need it because it's the only thing that eases their pain. Unequivocal B.S.! Anything that alters your mind is not harmless! That's like saying alcohol is harmless! Doesn't anyone else see how crazy this is? No ... probably not because Nevada County is abounding with pot heads ... although, they're not breaking the law because they got the illegal drug from a doctor legally! H-E-L-L-O? J.
