Marijuana, Tobacco, Alcohol, Prescription Drugs, Illicit Drugs, Aspirin and other Lethal Substances

Why the government and their paid stooges and oafs continue to bleet about the DANGERS of Pot or MARIHUANA as they continue to blather is beyond cogent understanding.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - You may consider this to be a wild title, so do I. The garbage coming from the U.S. Governments National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) seems to put Marijuana at the top of dangerous/lethal drugs.

I would call this humorous if it weren’t so foolish.
