i saw that..the laguardia report from 1935 said the same thing ...the feds have known this all along and still have continued to arrest and opress weed smokers in the us..i think every one involved in the war on drugs should be tried as a war criminal and should be punished accordingly...that means every cop who shot an inocent person in a botched drug raid should recieve the death penalty and the politicians who have kept the funding going for this assinine war should be given life in prison...and the informent's that have profited from the war on drugs should be deported ....preferably to beruit or some other fun in the sun kinda place ..
