Your View: END MARIJUANA PROHIBITION
Mesa, Ariz. -- In Ken Burns' outstanding PBS documentary "Prohibition,"
it was revealed that alcohol prohibition corrupted all levels of our
government -- all the way up to Warren G. Harding in the White House.
The alcohol cartels had hundreds of politicians on their payroll.
Is it unreasonable to suspect that the drug cartels of today are
following in the footsteps of the alcohol cartels? It's obvious that
medical marijuana dispensaries were making a major dent in the income
of the drug cartels.
Would a $10 to $15 million bribe motivate Obama to change his policy
regarding medical marijuana? We will never know. But I certainly suspect so.
