Drug Czar - "Marijuana is dangerous and has no medicinal benefit,"

To those of you who thought there is some, any, even a small difference between the rhetoric of a republican administration and a democrat one - think again. To those of you who voted for `hope and change' - how's that working out? LOL. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss - this time his name is Gil Kerlikowske who believes that "Marijuana is dangerous and has no medicinal benefit," - in addition to "the federal government views marijuana as a harmful and addictive drug".

Indeed, this idea that pot is ADDICTIVE seems very prevalent in the High Drug Office as just this month I re-butted Keven Sabet, a former drug policy wonk for Clinton and Bush, who said in May that " `addiction is the price' of legal marijuana. http://realheavypolitics.blogspot.com/2009/07/rebuttal-to-kevin-sabet-about-marijuana.html

Such a shame it isn't true - but - is left unchallenged - as usual - by our worthless media lapdogs. Indeed, why would we expect any knowledge of what real addition is from that office - when our now media famous former drug czar William Bennett had the post while addicted to nicotine (cigarettes) AND gambling. What a F'ing joke.

Oh, and did you know that our current czar was someone that while the head of Seattle's Police Force received a vote of no confidence from the "Seattle Police Officers' Guild" (in the very same year he took the job to boot)? And, that one of his earliest jobs in government was "saluting then-President Richard Nixon as he boarded the presidential helicopter". Or, that in 2007 the NAACP called for his resignation? Thought not.
