Explanation:
The recreational use of marijuana has been glamorized over the years by such on-screen duos as Cheech & Chong and Harold & Kumar, but is the drug everything that Hollywood makes it out to be? Then again, are we being hypocritical by allowing alcohol consumption but not cannabis usage? With passionate believers on both sides of the argument, it will be interesting to see what happens when the smoke clears.

There are Ways To Make Current Policy Better
[Draconian] Ways to Improve the Current Policy
Dr. Kevin Sabet - your posts border offensive. Your article "There Are Ways to Make Current Policy Better" suggests that the current policy is not invasive enough! Your 2nd paragraph says the most important thing we need to do is get better pricing and purity data on pot. Why is that "first and foremost"?
Your 3rd paragraph suggests racial profiling. You go a step even further and say, I quote, "In what aspects of society can we target those most at risk for marijuana use?"
Your 5th paragraph lays the framework for something truly sick. You suggest physicians should screen patients for drugs, and then provide 1 time "interventions"! You go further by suggesting more intrusive workplace and school drug testing.
In closing, you ingorantly suggest that legalization sigals that it's "ok". Last time I checked, bonfires are dangerous, but nevertheless, legal. People respect fire, and they respect the dangers of Marijuana. You are right about one thing - education is the key
