"The bottom line is if we care about kids healthy development, why do we want to add a new drug
Again living our adult lives for children. Fuck you Kennedy. You have NO idea what you're talking about, and your facts probably aren't facts at all. Just propaganda. This coming from a man who's great grandfather was a bootlegger and that is how they have their money.
Just GO AWAY, and take your "facts" with you.
On Edit: In 1974 the government did a study on the effects of Marijuana and brain tumors. Brain tumors lost and so did the public. The End.

"We are SAM. Smart Approaches to Marijuana. We are professionals working in mental health and public health. We are bipartisan. We are medical doctors, lawmakers, treatment providers, preventionists, teachers, law enforcement officers and others who seek a middle road between incarceration and legalization."
