not marijuana.

That's the biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard - using parents who kids abuse medicine the parents get from their doctors and then try to blame marijuana.

That's that stupid cone dipped in stupid with stupid sprinkles on top.

C. Everett Koop knew how to deal with this sort of thing - which is what Blumenauer was getting at with cigarettes - and it's done by ACCURATE, factual information, not the bullshit these agencies have relied upon to pay their salaries all these years.

Taylor Branch wrote about this at one point... I excerpted some in a post about Schmoke - but am not feeling well enough to hunt it down. maybe Ruby can be the google liberal, too.
