Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 31796613 United States 01/09/2013 02:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This website content was provided by an Ouju board and the spirit of Harry Jacob Anslinger [link to learnaboutsam.com] Marijuana is now the number one reason kids enter treatment—more than alcohol, cocaine, heroin, meth, ecstasy, and other drugs combined. How did this come to be? The most likely culprit is the increased potency of marijuana. No, its not [link to www.tokeofthetown.com] As Armentano points out, there aren't "one million people seeking treatment for marijuana dependence"; it isn't even close. The real number, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the actual number of persons seeking drug treatment for marijuana "as a primary substance for admission in 2007 (the most recent year with available data) was 287,933. That's a lot less than "a million." But there's more. If there really are 288,000 folks are year who need help quitting marijuana, then maybe there's reason for concern, right? Wrong answer, Believer Of Bureaucrats. Almost all of these "people seeking treatment" are FORCED to do so by court orders, under threat of jail, after having been busted for possessing small amounts of pot. The odd thing is, a lot of this frightening web site reads like they want a return to alcohol prohibition: [link to learnaboutsam.com] A fact most people do not know is that alcohol, not cocaine, heroin, or marijuana, is responsible for 2.6 million arrests every year. That is one million more arrests than for all illegal drugs combined. The reason? Alcohol is used so much more commonly than illegal drugs. People are being arrested for violating liquor laws, driving while intoxicated, and public drunkenness (the 2.6 million number doesn’t even include violent crimes that result from alcohol use). If marijuana were legal, and more people used it, we’d have more people driving high, growing marijuana in their own home, using underage, and violating all sorts of new regulations. (Why not let people grow in their own homes then?) Driving high? Science: [link to www.prweb.com] In a recent study, 4AutoinsuranceQuote.org, a national quote provider for online car insurance quotes, cites a strong correlation between traffic-related accidents and marijuana use. The study, which looks at statistics regarding accidents, traffic violations, and insurance prices, seeks to dispel the thought that “driving while stoned” is dangerous. In the study, 4AutoInsuranceQuote.org points out that the only significant effect that marijuana has on operating a motor vehicle is slower driving. [link to washingtonindependent.com] A study released last week by the University of Colorado Denver indicates that the legalization of medical marijuana reduces alcohol consumption and, as a result, alcohol-related traffic deaths without a corresponding increase in deaths caused by stoned drivers. Are they just going to make stuff up about the demon weed, then push it in a controlled form as profitable medicine? Stay tuned. What is the real purpose of this new Reefer Madness campaign |

Goofy for God will be the only person left outside!I hope we can find a nice straight edge to feed our cats... [link to www.change.org] Former Congressman Patrick Kennedy is the chairman of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), a new national organization that wants to force marijuana consumers into treatment and subject them to mandatory health screenings and "marijuana education" camps. Yet he comes from a family that made a fortune selling alcohol – a product that is objectively far more harmful than marijuana! Sign our petition today calling on Patrick Kennedy to drop out of SAM or explain why he is working to keep a less harmful alternative to alcohol illegal. |
