POT QUOTE IS 'RIDICULOUS'

Drug Enforcement Administration chief Asa Hutchinson's statement on
marijuana legalization in Nevada is one of the most ridiculous I've
ever read.

He says, "People will be coming (to Nevada) from other states to
visit their relatives so they can use marijuana." Sorry, Asa, but I
don't think that is the reason they'll be visiting Nevada.

Any person in the United States can probably find some pot with little
effort and does not have to use visiting relatives in Nevada as an
excuse, or be concerned that 3 ounces or less may be legal in a
particular state.
