Patrick Kennedy spouts nonsense on Amendment 64 (Legal Cannabis in Colorado)

[RainDog]

18. Yes, Reagan flouted that bogus study

It took YEARS for NORML to gain access to that study after filing requests. Years. Who, if they have important research, HIDES IT from others who want to review the methodology, etc.?

Who? Someone who was doing research intended to produce a result that could further the goals of propaganda campaigners, that's who.

And, yes, the study was discredited because carbon monoxide, not cannabis, was what killed brain cells.

This action on the part of government and their shills is why they and the "war on drugs" is harmful. When people know they have lied repeatedly in order to force laws upon people that were initially based upon lies - why should anyone believe anything they have to say.

It's like Bush and the Iraq war. After all the lies - who would think neocons are honest about anything or should be in any position of power? Not me. The only way such groups maintain power is through lies.

This is why I find it so disturbing that Patrick Kennedy has chosen to associate himself with a propaganda group.
