ANOTHER TAKE ON TOKES

Pamela McColl is guilty of some backwards thinking. Eight decades of
cannabis (marijuana) prohibition has proven to be "experimenting with
dangerous drug policies" and "risky public-health policy," not the
other way around.

Insinuating cannabis laws involve "evidence-based drug policy" could
not be farther from the truth. Cannabis prohibition and persecution
was orchestrated from the beginning out of greed and racism. If
cannabis were discovered today for the first time, it would be hailed
as a miracle plant.
