The ONDCP’s David Murry really is a kick you don’t want to miss. It’s scary but fun watching Murry do his bluster, befuddle and brimstone act. Murry can go on and on and on blabbing out complete poppycock with a fained conviction and pumped up fervor.

Murry is, oddly enough, the quintessential 21 century snake oil salesman. Dog help us.

If they have to spend money, it might as well be on some more commercials because God knows those things will be released someday on DVD as comedy classics from decades before.

I can’t wait for the new exciting approach to meth. I wonder if it includes asinine commercials and locking more addicts up?

Interesting how so many of these ONDCP ‘scientists’ and supposed ‘medical professionals’ seem to have developed extraordinarily large retinal blind spots regarding the scientific method and cannabis.

For example, they keep saying that it’s ‘dangerous’ while they ignore the fact that there is no actual LD-50 (at which 50% of people receiving a dose would die from it) for cannabis.

If this Administration truly wants to make good on its’ promise to have science-based policies instead of ideologically-based ones, then the cannabis laws are the best place to start. And having Lysenkoist hacks like Murray around is less than helpful towards that purpose.

Well at least Murray has no background in law enforcement.

That’s a surprise considering he works for ONDCP.
