DON'T BELIEVE DRUG USERS

Drug dealers and users want credibility. Let's take them at their word.

Believe them when they say that their ultimate reason for promoting the 
scam of legalizing "medicinal" marijuana is driven by their long-term goal 
of legalizing all drugs for recreational purposes.

Doubt it. Read their magazines and e-mail; they've spoken of it openly for 
15 years, except to nonusers, of course.

A cartel of legalizers bankrolled by George Soros and friends is (one state 
at a time) circumventing federal laws via the initiative process - this 
includes Food & Drug Administration laws preventing quackery - a dangerous 
precedent.

Quackery. You bet! Weedotherapy - self-medicating, with a drug of delusion yet.

Scientific studies show that 40 percent of people think placebos work. With 
a delusional drug such as marijuana, one would think that it must be much 
higher, except that, when one has read the drug users' own words for 15 
years as I have, one would know that promoting marijuana as a "medicine" is 
a scam to legalize all drugs.

Like digitalis from foxglove, the "medicinal" aspects within marijuana, if 
synthesized into regular doses, compounds administered by a safe delivery 
system, may be beneficial to some people, and that warrants further study, 
but giving in to the scam is just not acceptable.

Beware of the drug users claiming compassion. The fate of America's 
children hangs in the balance.
