GET OFF THE GRASS
IF YOU'RE wrong and you admit it, you deserve respect. Such as Dr Robert
Dupont, chairman of the drug dependency section of the World Psychiatric
Association: "Not only is marijuana worse than alcohol and tobacco combined,
it has distinctive properties neither of the others have. I now consider
marijuana the biggest new health problem in our nation. For today's
youngsters, kicking the marijuana habit is going to be a life-and-death
struggle. My past support for decriminalising marijuana was the worst thing
I ever said. I hereby apologise to the American people."
Back in Australia, we have drug "experts" still calling marijuana a "soft"
drug and wanting it legal.
