    Can you explain why DFA is funded by tobacco and alcohol?

    Tell me why tobacco and alcohol corporations fund Drug Free America. Could it be because they are afraid of competition from a substance which does NOT cause cancer, does NOT give hangovers, does NOT cause hundreds of thousands of deaths each year?

      Drug Free America is also sponsord buy Drug Companies.

      Do you find it outrageously ironic that the Partnership for a Drug Free America is funded almost wholly buy alcohol, tobacco and pharmacuetical companies. Here are a few from the list: Johnson and Johnson, DuPont, Merk, Bristol Myers Squibb, P&G.

      Medical marijuana advocates are often accused of having biases. Of course we do, we side with reason and logic. We don't have a profit motive. It's just a damned plant.
