STIRRING UP THE POLICY ON POT

Tom Riley's response on behalf of the White House Office of National
Drug Control Policy to calls for cannabis to be regulated is a non
sequitur at best. He uses examples of the failures associated with
control of coca in Colombia and opiates in Afghanistan in an attempt
to support the same failed prohibition policies for cannabis in this
country. His logic makes as little sense as allowing criminals to
control the markets for dangerous drugs.
