Kennedy admits he's bought off by big pharma
Former Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) says that lobbyists pushing for the legalization of medical marijuana are trying to sell the public on a “Trojan horse” — making the drug seem more normalized and acceptable in society, though it still has dangerous impacts on minors. “The public health doesn’t stand a chance in this fight, because we’re up against money that is going to continue to grow as this industry spreads,” Kennedy concedes, likening marijuana proponents to the big tobacco industry.

No siree, I'm not giving up my Scotch and cigar habit. Can't prohibit minors either, if for no other reason that to keep a viable liver and lung transplant supply in place.TierbsHsotBoobs said:Alcohol and tobacco have dangerous impacts on minors too.

It should be left to the states and the AG needs to stfu. While I do enjoy a fresh bowel from time to time, the Feds aren't the ones that should make it legal. It's pretty clear that smoking weed everyday doesn't make you smarter and there are some states that can't really afford to have it legal in that regard.
