Uhhh no. If she was a pro spin doctor she would have been able to find a different way of saying the same thing. Instead of actually repeating verbatim the same line over and over again. She's a shitty spin doctor but seems to be controlled by some kind of drugs judging by her vacant stare.

I was gonna say mad blow jobs got her that job until I saw her face...

What an asshole, he obviously wanted a very particular answer or he might've let her finish a whole sentence. Something like, "You're right, I'm wrong. I'm going to defy the law and start giving drug addicts free marijuana." followed by sparking up a joint for the camera. I'd like to see results just as much as he does, but he's clearly attacking the wrong person. She represents the Drug Enforcement Agency, she's not in a position to be questioning the judgment of the people who really decide what goes on; all he did was wedge her in a position that would have resulted in her dismissal had she complied with his agenda. What can she really say to this kind of badgering? At the end she looked like she might actually start crying.

GTFO, there's no room for logic in this thread.

Drugs are good mmmkay?

He was asking her straight fucking up whether heroin and crack are worse than marijuana. A straight answer in return is not to much to ask, considering the answer is extremely obvious. Get the government's dirty dick out your mouth son.

This.

Not to mention he basically excused her actions because she's a willing stooge. That shit didn't work at nerumburg, it's not going to fly here.

No. He was asking a very, VERY simple question. Leonhart was clearly evading the answer. This happens all the time. The DEA has less power over marijuana policy than the government, but they still coordinate raids and operations.

I do agree that the senator could be a little less of a dick, but Leonhart was clearly evading his initial question -- which dragged on for at least three fucking minutes. He could also use a less "bleeding heart" approach to medical and recreational marijuana. There is ample evidence to support medical marijuana and ample evidence to suggest that marijuana is very nontoxic. This is why we need scientists and doctors on the floor.

I'm really not sure why marijuana prohibition is still in place. It makes no sense. Especially prohibition of medical marijuana and even medical marijuana RESEARCH.

The fuck USA, the fuck?

Capitalism.

Everyone in their right mind knows cannabis isn't what the government says it is. The people in power will continue to force this lie down your throat because it suits their agenda and/or lobbies.

Capitalism.

But how are they able to withstand the public pressure? More and more Americans are accepting medical marijuana (and numbers for recreational marijuana are increasing as well), yet the US government has not budged. They haven't even flinched. There is however, a clear reduction in rhetoric. Thirty-ish years ago, Reagan called marijuana the equivalent of an H-bomb on the brain. Today, most NIDA reports and DEA claims point towards bullshit cognitive deficits and "teenage rehabilitation admission" (if you've ever been in trouble for marijuana, both by law or parents, you'll know that there is extreme pressure to go to rehab even if you don't feel you need it).

And somehow USA is able to extend their arm out to the entire world and keep cannabis illegal... They've placed so much pressure on nations like Nepal and Kazakhstan that these nations are spending large amounts of their budget to eliminate a plant that is NATIVE to their area... I've heard all this talk about capitalism having an effect on prohibition, but it just seems so insanely absurd to me that this shit could be illegal.

Big pharma has no room for depressed potheads. If you feel like you need a pick-me-up, take a fuckin Zoloft bitch, no big wig would ever benefit from the legalization of cannabis.

The DEA is so pathetically wrong, it's a total fucking joke. I wonder if they really believe their own propaganda.

I wasn't aware Ashkenazi Jews received affirmative action on a legal level. Jews tend to prefer giving others of their kind positions, though.

It should be mandatory for politicians to hold at least one science degree (in the physical or natural sciences, not social sciences)


using the scientific method would eliminate all the subjective bullshit in politics

This as far as the 'why is pot still illegal' question.
You can patent a pill, but not a plant, ya dig?
When people retort with "well all the tax revenue it could generate if it was legal..."
Yea that's a novel idea and all, but there's just simply more money it keeping it illegal. The billions of dollars we waste fighting the war on certain people who use certain drugs > potential tax revenue from legalized cannabis

Think of court fines/tickets for small amounts/paraphenilia, the tax money for jailing non-violent drug offenders etc.

Because doping up 5 year olds on perscription amphetamines is considered more "medicinally beneficial" then smoking a doob to curb glaucoma. Because the current drug schedules suggests that a plant is more addictive then 4 amphetamine salts stuffed in a gel capsule.
Because the current schedules suggest that morphine has more medicinal value AND less potential for addiction/abuse then pot.

lol, you misunderstand me. I don't agree with the illegality of marijuana on any level, and I'd really like to see all illicit substances worked out to become legal one day. So I think she had a point regarding "subjectivity" and whatnot (the only sensible and realistic sentence she was able to complete), though generally I'd say yes, she was dodging most of his questions which could have been answered easily.

But I do think this senator was talking to the wrong person, and he was rather insulting at that. All I'm saying is that he badgered her to get her to say something which would've gotten her removed from her position. Can't say I'd want to answer his question either, not if I'd pay with my job. There are bigger people to go to about this problem; her duty is to enforce the law on drugs, not make it. All he really did was try to humiliate somebody.

It's an index created by the researchers that takes into account a whole host of things. If you want the method how they came up with the index you'll have to read the study referenced at the bottom of the chart. It's a very well known study among people who argue about drug policy.

Why get in a rage over another politician lying to y'all? It's what they do. Do you expect them to tell the truth?

And you don't think she deserves it? She's scum who has no qualms about arresting innocent people, and lying to congress just to get a paycheck.

Does she deserve it? I don't know, and I don't know her.

What I want to know is how this can accomplish anything of measurable value to the cause.

Why do you have to know her? She took the job as head of the DEA, she's a puppet for one of the most criminal orginizations to ever exists. She has no problem lying to congress. She'll trade the innocent lives of pot smokers for a cold hard salary. She's deplorable.

Well he's got to try something. At least he's putting her on the spot and trying to make her look a fraction of how bad she is in reality.

[Struwwelpeter]

Drug users are the lowest sort of shit on this planet, especially marijuana users. Marijuana practically already is legal, so you can't really go to jail for possessing small amounts for personal use. In California you can smoke in front of the cops. If you go to jail for marijuana you're either fucking retarded or a big time dealer. So, fuck all you idiots, quit crying about shit that isn't even happening in reality.

The real problem is why you should even want to use marijuana in the first place. If your life is so empty that you feel you need to smoke weed, maybe there's something wrong with you. Maybe you're not walking the path to righteousness. Maybe you're just low-grade human shit.
