“We’ve seen brands of cannabis that are distorted by other products and ingredients” – Yes because it is illegal to produce so therefore not regulated or controlled, our laws CREATE the problems, anyone who cannot see this is BLIND.

He’ll be gone soon enough. The conservatives are probably going to win the next election.

Trouble is, they probably have as small a regard for liberty as Labor in the UK. The last administration on that police state island that cared even a little for freedom was the Thatcher admin.

I think the statement just after ignoring science is just as rediculous

“We have got to look not just at what medics and scientists are saying to us — and we take that very seriously — but also what impact different decisions can have on young, vulnerable people.”

So we’re going to ignore science AND doctors. Who needs empirical evidence and concurring anecdotal evidence, when we can just make shit up?

This bit is farking nuts in so many ways:

In an exclusive interview with the Standard, he said the public backed him against calls for softer sentences related to drug abuse and he warned against the danger of giving “mixed messages” to young people targeted by dealers.

How’s about the mixed message of ignoring objective peer-reviewed scientific data, Gordon?

And targeting young people? Please. From what I’ve seen, if one has access to primo bud, it’s more of a matter of keeping young people, middle-aged and old hippies from bugging the shit out of their dealers.

Jacob responds to Jon Ferry on David Nutt firings
Jacob Hunter
Mr Ferry… why do you not come out strongly when the RCMP (Or, as it was last week, the OPP) issue press releases with unsubstantiated and alarmist statements about the danger of marijuana cultivation facilities?

Wow, that’s a rather blunt admission of irrationality and stupidity, especially for a non-American drug warrior.

Obviously insofar as marijuana is adulterated with anything (and I’ve never heard of “rat poison laced pot”), it’s because of the black market.

Will the UK dump drug prohibition once America collapses and they no longer have to kiss our ass? I hope so.

Coming on the heels of the UK fiasco, Senator Grassley is trying to keep legalization (and even decrim) off the table in Jim Webb’s criminal justice commission bill:

So they admit that his advice is scientific and that they’re ignoring it.

Fascinating.
