This guy is saying that marijuana is just as bad, if not worse than
alcohol and tobacco products.

Please, I am so tired of these old-fashioned cops who act like they
are the mortal gods of our cities and that they know all.

Regardless of what is in the streets, your children are going to make
their own decisions, even if you tell them the "truth" about
marijuana.  Having a police officer say marijuana is evil and once you
smoke one joint you are set to be a heroin addict just makes a teen
even more curious about the drug.

If marijuana is as lethal as these so-called scientists say, then why
haven't I heard about a kid who overdosed on marijuana and died?
