I recently read in this month's High Times that Mark Trouville, Chief of the DEA's Miami office made this statement to local law enforcement agents, "The days of mom and pop growing a couple of pots of grass in their house is gone. THis ain't your grandfather's or your father's marijuana. This will hurt you. THis will addict you. This will kill you."
My grandfather should be pretty pissed that I'm still smoking "his Marijuana", because no weed never done hurt me, and I get some pretty top-o-the-line buds. Agent Trouville, you succeed in frightening me, but I'm not scared of marijuana; I'm scared of how eager the governing agencies are to lie, and how easily they get away with it.
Show me one body. Just one, and I'll toss my bong right now. (alright, but I'll never give up my vaporizer) Perhaps there is marijuana out there laced with things that will kill you, but making statements such as this is the same misteps in logic that state if it is possible for an immigrant to mug someone, therefore all immigrants are criminals and we should slam our borders shut. It is the same reasoning and fear tactics that allowed the German people to turn their heads during the holocaust, and white people to allow the segregation of blacks to happen right under our noses.
But this guy says these things and gets away with it. I wonder if someone made the absolute statement that "...the law abiding Government agents of the past are gone. These are evil cyborgs from the plantet Kryluc. They will sodomize you. They will eat your children. They will screw your dog." Don't you think that they could sue for Slander?
There's about as much truth to my statement as Mark Trouville's. Take that however you'd like.
