OVER THE TOP MARIJUANA MISSIVES

If nothing else, Russell Barth's over-the-top missives on marijuana
are good for comedy relief.

Case in point? Insisting cops are out to violate the civil rights and
liberties and anyone else who supports drug prohibition ... are a
clear and present danger to society at large.

There are documented dangers of habitual marijuana use. Marijuana is
at the root of many mental disorders. It has long been known to
trigger attacks of mental illness, such as bipolar psychosis and
schizophrenia.

As for cops pulling over impaired drivers (which include THC
impaired): Cops look for bloodshot eyes, lack of co-ordination,
slurred speech, dilated pupils, jerky eye tracking and the
unmistakable stench of marijuana smoke among other things. If you
don't want to get popped for impaired driving, don't drive impaired.
