A question that was not asked by this radio talk show host but usually makes its way into the agenda is one that brings in the question of tobacco vs. marijuana, i.e., ??Tobacco kills hundreds of thousands of individuals every year but nobody??s ever died of smoking pot. But pot is illegal. Doesn??t this seem a bit hypocritical??

Answer: Marijuana is a leading cause of drug-related emergency room episodes and emergency psychiatric episodes. Smoking a few cigarettes, or even a package of cigarettes, has never necessitated emergency room medical or psychiatric attention. Long-term tobacco use leads to the deterioration of the lungs, heart, circulation, etc. There are no recorded deaths from smoking tobacco short term. It is known that marijuana undermines the immune system so it is likely that in another 20 years, if use continues to escalate, the death toll from side effects of long-term marijuana use will equal those of longer-term tobacco use. Additionally, because marijuana is hallucinogenic, smokers often indulge in risky or irresponsible behavior that results in tragic or lethal consequences.

Personally, I don't care how many synthetic versions of marijuana they make, I'd still take something natural over something not.

This is what kids are learning in school.

So you know what these folks are up to, here's what they do
Lets say that you go the the ER for a broken arm.
The ER asks, "do you do drugs, or smoke marijuana?"
You say, "yes, i do smoke weed"Because you feel like you can be honest with the ER, and you should be.
Now...here's where the drugwar tricksters operate......
At the end of the year the drug czar will check hospital records and use your words"I do smoke pot" as statistics. Your broken arm isnt the main issue with the drug czar. He is looking to see how many people came into the ER and said"i smoke pot" Your broken arm is now meaningless. But the number of people who were honest when they said i smoke pot is whats used to describe an ER visit. If 10,000 people said "i smoke pot" trhen the drug czar says "see, ten thousand ER visits because of pot use." They are a tricky bunch. The reasons for people being forced into treatment is because they are minors. They have no choice. So now we ahve another ten thousand young people in treatment due to marijuana, all because you were honest and said , I smoke pot.
Fuckers.

D.A.R.E. depends of funding from the government. Their jobs are at stake and they will say what they need to say in order to keep the funds flowing their war. Folks, your government is willing to cage you, harm you, lie to you, and possibly kill you , all in order to protect their wealthy friends riches and their lies. I suggest that everyone of you refuse to acknowledge your flag. Do not salute it, do not sing the Star Spangled Banner, which i call , Bummer.
And for gods sake do NOT join the military.:thumbsup:
