THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON THE DRUG WAR

Good morning. I want to talk to all of you, but especially parents,
about the dangers of marijuana. I don't mean smoking it; that's pretty
much harmless although you shouldn't then operate machinery or motor
vehicles. I mean the serious negative effects the drug war can have on
your IQ and even your morals.

Consider Wednesday's warning by U.S. drug czar Asa Hutchinson that if
Canada and Britain "start shifting policies with regards to marijuana
it simply increases the rumblings in this country that we ought to
re-examine our policy. It is a distraction from a firm policy on drug
use." So basically if we question the policy we might realize it's a
bad idea and abandon it and that mustn't be allowed to happen. How
many bong hits would it take before you'd say something (a) that silly
and (b) that contrary to the principle of rational inquiry in a free
society?
